(Subject: Regimental & Unit Histories - Famous Regiments) Raised in 1775, the Marine Corps has served in all of America's overseas wars since then. They fought on the Union side in the Civil War. Amongst other conflicts they have seen action in the War of Independence, the Mexican and Spanish American Wars, Panama, China and the Philippines, and on the Western Front in the Great War. With the other Allies they ventured into Northern Russia in 1918 to support the White Russians against the Bolsheviks and, between the World Wars, they served far and wide protecting America's interests. In WWII their exploits in the Pacific were legendary. Actions in Korea and Vietnam bring their story up to the 1970s (Published: 1974) (Publisher: Leo Cooper) (ISBN: 0850521769) (Pagination: 184pp, 55 ills, bibliography) (Condition: Good in discoloured dw.

Signed and inscribed by the author: "To William JAckson who served his country well in the . Company, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Infantry Division, WWII. Best regards to a fine soldier." Octavo, red boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 168 pp + [iv] pp. From dust jacket: When Ernie Pyle came ashore on the Pacific island of le Shima on April 17, 1945 it was a lovely spring day. He spent the afternoon with the author of this book. General Randle was Assistant Division Commander of the 77th Infantry Division. Together they watched an attack by the 305th Infantry Regiment, and saw a bomb removal squad blown up. At dusk they walked back to the reserve battalion, at cold canned C-rations, and slept side by side in a Japanese ammunition trench. The next morning, Ernie was killed. General Randle tells the whole tragic story in this book. Of the other nine stories, seven have been published in magazines of national circulation. "Ricky," a dog story, was privately printed for distribution to friends, and "Recollections of a Military Governor" was written for this volume. Perhaps it will help explain why the occupation of Japan after World War II was so successful and why the Japanese people are our friends.

SERIES: Series Editor: Ashley Brown. SYNOPSIS: The British 22nd SAS Regiment excels in direct and covert action against violent insurgents at home and abroad. The SAS has a phenomenal history of success: cracking down on Communists in the jungles of Malaya, battling rebels in the deserts of North Africa, facing IRA gunmen in the streets of Belfast. The unit's precision in decisive clandestine operations has made it a model for anti-terrorist security forces around the world. Undercover Fighters, the second volume in the Villard Military Series, retraces the regiment's dramatic development - from its establishment during the early years of World War II through its pivotal role in the Falklands conflict of 1982. Here are the words of the men who took part in the operations, and here are the images of this elite fighting unit, captured in over 100 illustrations, in both full-color and black-and-white. Now you can share in the unparalleled discipline, the supreme courage and confidence, of the 22nd SAS Regiment. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
