Marine: A Guided Tour of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (Tom Clancy's Military Reference)

They are the very best America has to offer - the few and the proud. The Marine Corps has served our nation with distinction, and achieved an almost mythical status among America's defenders. Now, Tom Clancy tells us the real story of the men and women who serve in this most halloweed branch of the Armed Forces. With the same compelling style and eye for detail that marked his bestselling nonfiction works 'Submarine, Armored Cav, and Fighter Wing, Clancy paints the fascinanting picture of the Corps as only he could. Includes the tools of the Marine Expeditionary Unit, including AAV-7 amphibious personnel carrier, the mighty Wasp-class assault carrier, and Harrier II atack jet. Exclusive photographs, illustrations, and diagrams. Plus - an interview with the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Charles 'Chuck' Krulak.
