The unique story of a US Marine athletic team competing for a
national championship at the height of the Vietnam War. In the
summer of American riots, at the height of the Vietnam War, two
junior officers and three enlisted men gather at Virginia's Marine
Base Quantico to train - not for combat, but for cross country
running. The Quantico Marines tells the unlikely story of the
team-combat veterans and new recruits, misfits and heroes - whose
job is to represent the Corps on the college campuses and
backcountry trails of the East Coast. The runners have a lot
working against them, from battlefield scars to unsupportive base
officers to challenging romances. But while their wounded comrades
are filling the hospital just up the hill with life-threatening
injuries, their lives are safe. Or are they? There are surprises
lingering just below the surface, and the real danger may come not
from the Viet Cong or the angry anti-war protestors, but from the
sweet, pretty wife of the team's head coach. This is a novel full
of unexpected turns and unforgettable characters, set in a year
that was unlike any other.
