"Axelrod is one America' s great military historians. He' s done it this time with riveting non-stop action that reads like the best of Hemingway' s frontline reports plus the Marine Corps novels of W.E.B. Griffin. Axelrod pushes you right into the action, onto the battlefield, and never lets up. You become a firsthand witness to one of the world' s great battles, proud and heart-pounding as the elite force, the Devil Dogs, are born in a small forest outside Paris. This is one book I wish "I' d" written!" --Paul B. Farrell, J.D., Ph.D., syndicated columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch. He is the author of "The Lazy Person' s Guide to Investing," a former investment banker with Morgan Stanley, and a former Staff Sergeant in the US Marine Corps. " Alan Axelrod has perfectly captured the embodiment of U.S. Marines and their unparalleled Esprit de Corps in his new book, 'Miracle at Belleau Wood.' As a former Marine, I find Axelrod's descriptions of the combat in that bloody battle for which the Corps became legendary -- and which is the foundation of its mythic lore -- compelling and gut-wrenching. Axelrod's re-telling of the tales -- some from the letters, diaries and personal accounting of those who fought there -- more than does justice to Marines at Bois de la Brigade de Marine, as Belleau Wood became known to honor the Devil Dogs who fought and died there. More heroes and legends grew from Belleau Wood than from any other battle in the Corps's history. The names ring out in Axelrod's book -- Daly, Blanchfield, Lee. Legends one and all. Axelrod brings it all to life for the reader. Though a historical accounting of the battle, 'Miracle at Belleau Wood' puts the reader in the front row -- 'inches of real estate were purchased with gallons of blood' -- as you witness the heroism and ups and downs endured by the Marines as they defeated the Germans at overwhelming odds. As Axelrod writes, '...created...in 1775, the United States Marine Corps was "born" in that French forest...in 1918.' A must read!" --Jay Kopelman, author of the best-selling "From Baghdad with Love," and a former Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps, "Axelrod is one America's great military historians.

Synopsis
By the time the Battle of Belleau Wood was over, American forces hailed it as the Gettysburg of the Great War. Although it did not single-handedly win WWI, this extremely bloody battle did mark the end of the last major German offensive of the war. Miracle at Belleau Wood is a thoroughly researched, intelligent, and insightful account of one of the U.S. Army's most intense and ferocious actions of the Great War. It is also the story of how the Marines were transformed from a motley crew of shipboard soldiers and embassy guards into, ultimately, one of the world's most elite fighting units. This brand new account of one of the most stirring battles of the Great War is an essential read for anyone with an interest in that particular theatre and the history of U.S. Marine Corps., The Battle of Belleau Wood, stunning in both its concentration and intensity, was the fiery furnace from which the modern United States Marine Corps emerged as America's fiercest and most effective warriors, the world's preeminent fighting elite.

- l***m (1312)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI know this item was Marked Used but I think it's really suitable for what I'm doing. That said, Great value for the price and just as described. I think it was packaged in a tube nicely and I've kept the packaging (slightly Modified) to protect it when not in use. So the shipping was excellent. I had wondered would it get damaged in shipping. Thank you.
