Check Col Robert D. Heinl's "Soldier of the Sea" for the whole sorry story of how it was planned to do away with the Corps despite its outstanding record in the Pacific War.


Ben,

I did check Heinl's "Soldiers of the Sea," and quoted parts of it in the book that I'm writing. And I noticed no signifcant difference from what he wrote vs. Allan Millett's, "Semper Fidelis, Victor Krulak's, "First to Fight," and Giusti's "Mobiliazation of the Marine Corps Reserve in the Korean Conflict."

If you can suggest where he diverged from the other histories I'd appreciate it.
