Miracle at Belleau Wood: The Birth Of The Modern U.S. Marine Corps Paperback - 2018
by Alan Axelrod; Foreword by Bing West
From the rear cover
"Axelrod is one of America's great military historians. He's done it this time with riveting non-stop action that reads like the best of Hemingway's frontline reports plus the Marine Corps novels of W. E. B. Griffin. Axelrod pushes you right into the action, onto the battlefield, and never lets up. You become a firsthand witness to one of the world's great battles, proud and heart-pounding as the elite force, the Devil Dogs, are born in a small forest outside Paris. This is one book I wish I'd written!" --Paul B. Farrell, J.D., Ph.D., is a syndicated columnist for Dow Jones's MarketWatch. He is the author of The Lazy Person's Guide to Investing and The Millionaire Code, a former investment banker with Morgan Stanley, and a former staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps. "Alan Axelrod has perfectly captured the embodiment of U.S. Marines and their unparalleled Esprit de Corps in his new book, Miracle at Belleau Wood. As a former Marine, I find Axelrod's descriptions of the combat in that bloody battle for which the Corps became legendary--and which is the foundation of its mythic lore--compelling and gut-wrenching. Miracle at Belleau Wood puts the reader in the front row, witness to the heroism and ups and downs endured by the Marines as they defeated the Germans at overwhelming odds. A must-read!" --Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman, USMCR (Ret.), best-selling author of From Baghdad, With Love "Axelrod brings us back vividly to the shocking casualties of 'the war to end all wars, ' opening up fresh insights into the nature of the fighting and the decisions that shaped a generation." --Bing West is a correspondent for The Atlantic and the award-winning author of two books on the Iraq war. He is a former Marine in Vietnam and assistant secretary of defense.
