Book Synopsis Here Come the Marines! by : Alexander R. Griffin
Book excerpt: After the bitter fighting against the U.S. Marines in Belleau Wood during WWI, the German commanders on the spot wrote to their high command that they were fighting “Teufel Hunde” or Devil Dogs. The ferocious nickname stuck to the U.S. Marine Corps, who referred to themselves as Devil Dogs to this day. In this gripping account, written soon after the U.S. entry to WWII and the heroic defence of Wake Island came to a close, veteran writer Alexander Griffin recounts the famous history of the Marine Corps. From the shores of Tripoli, through the Halls of Montezuma to the hellish conditions of the Pacific the grit, determination and fighting spirit of the U.S. Marines shines through.
