SynopsisProfiles the 293 marines who have received the U.S. Marine Corps Medal of Honor, along with 150 in-depth accounts of the campaigns, battles, and exploits--from the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf--in which they took part., The United States Marine Corps Medal of Honor, awarded for outstanding courage and sacrifice in combat, is the greatest honor a marine can hope to attain. In over two hundred years of Marine Corps existence, only 293 marines have received this honor. These are their stories. From the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf, this comprehensive book features detailed information on 293 Marine Corps Medal of Honor winners, with 150 in-depth accounts of those who demonstrated the courage and determination which are the cornerstones of the United States Marine Corps-in a compelling chronicle of those who have truly earned the rank of "heroes."
