Debunks; to a great extent; what had been previously written about the Marines' Pusan contribution. Implies that prior books were mostly propaganda to overcome the facts that President Truman and Generals Marshall and Eisenhower wanted to eliminate the USMC at that time (true). The implication is that the Marines 2 weeks in action at Pusan wasn't really necessary and that the Army units would have won it anyway. Throws a bone to the Corps in terms of their contributions at Inchon; Seoul and the Chosen Reservoir campaign.Comes off as Army petulance.....about their inability to match the Marine Corps' image.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dry. Very dry.By Sean WelbyIts really amazing how someody can take one of the most exciting (in a desparate way) campaigns in the military history of the United States and make it seem dull. Some interesting points; and all the information is there; but a dry presentation that will no doubt lead many to put it back on the shelf half read.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
