As a former Marine and big fan of the Marine Corps in World War II, I had heard many anecdotes about "Chesty" Puller, who is a legend in the Corps, and wanted to know the facts behind the legend. I was not disappointed. Jon Hoffman has done meticulous research and written a very authoritative, yet very readable, account of Puller's life. Anyone interested in the Marine Corps, or military leadership in general, should read this book.
This is a well detailed history of one one of the most historic combat Marine Commander. The documentation of the military life of Chesty Puller is not only inspiring but most enlightening. I found this book to be a great reading experience and recommend it to anyone who wishes to indulge in nonfiction.

A must read for any MARINE as well as any military leader. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, was awarded 5 Navy Cross's as well as the Distinguished Service Cross, he lead from the front. A true military leader and hero.
Excellent book! I learned more about Chesty Puller and his leadership both in war and peace. I also bought a book for my son who is a Marine and stationed in Hawaii!!
