Jason Bohm brings the early history of the Marine Corps to life in this compelling account of our nation's fight for independence. Through extensive research and engaging storytelling, he reveals that the multipurpose role the Marine Corps plays in our national defense today began with Washington's Marines in the Revolutionary War. Every Marine and student of the Revolutionary War will enjoy, and learn from, this book., "The dark days of 1776 are the period when the Continental Marines truly became "Washington's Marines". General Bohm's love for the Corps and respect for those Marines who fought at Trenton and Princeton come through in every page of this book. I highly recommend it to fans of the United States Marines and to students of the American Revolution alike.", This meticulously researched study presents the birth of the legendary United States Marine Corps that set the standard for the few and the proud. Rallying to Washington's call for all available units during ' . . . the times that tried men's souls,' the Continental Marines took part in some of the most critical early actions that turned the tide of the Revolution. Washington's Marines is cinematic storytelling not to be missed., Jason Bohm's Washington's Marines provides wonderful insights into how the Colonials cobbled together a military force to fight the British. It also provides clear insights into the origins of the U.S. Marine Corps by placing what really happened in its historical past in place of myths., Jason Bohm has given us an excellent and useful book on the important contribution of Continental Marines and state Marines in pivotal campaigns of the American Revolutionary War. At Trenton and Princeton small numbers of Marines brought strength, courage, and leadership to the American cause.

Synopsis
The fighting prowess of United States Marines is second to none, but few know of the Corps' humble beginnings and what it achieved during the early years of the American Revolution. This is the first complete study of its kind to weave the men, strategy, performance, and personalities of the Corps' formative early years into a single account., Winner, 2024 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award The fighting prowess of United States Marines is second to none, but few know of the Corps' humble beginnings and what it achieved during the early years of the American Revolution. Jason Bohm rectifies this oversight with his eye-opening Washington's Marines: The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution, 1775-1777 .The story begins with the oppressive days that drove America into a conflict for which it was ill-prepared, when thirteen independent colonies commenced a war against the world's most powerful military with nothing more than local militias, privateers, and other ad hoc units. The Continental Congress rushed to form an army and placed George Washington in command, but soon realized that, to win its freedom, America would need men who could fight on the sea and on land. Enter the Marines. Bohm artfully tells the story of the creation of the Continental Marines and the men who led them during the parallel paths followed by the Army and Marines in the opening years of the war and through the early successes and failures at Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Canada, Boston, Charleston, and more.As General Washington struggled to preserve his command after defeats in New York and New Jersey in 1776, the nascent U.S. Navy and Marines deployed the first American fleet, conducted their first amphibious operation, and waged a war on the rivers and seas to block British reinforcements and capture critically needed supplies. Desperate times forced Congress to detach the Continental Marines from the Navy to join the embattled army as Washington sought an "important stroke" to defeat his adversary.Washington's Marines joined their fellow soldiers in a protracted land campaign that culminated in turning-point victories at Trenton, Assunpink Creek, and Princeton. This chapter of the Continental Marines ends in Morristown, New Jersey, when Washington granted Henry Knox's request to leverage the Marines' expertise with naval guns to fill the depleted ranks of the army's artillery during the "Forage War." Washington's Marines is the first complete study of its kind to weave the men, strategy, performance, and personalities of the Corps' formative early years into a single compelling account. The sweeping prose relies heavily on primary research and the author's own extensive military knowledge. Enhanced with original maps and illustrations, Washington's Marines will take its place as one of the finest studies of its kind.

- 8***5 (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.Pogo 3 : Evidence to the Contrary: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips, Hard... (#354953679255)
