Merrill's Marauders were the first American Army infantry unit to
fight in the China-Burma-India theater, and one of the most
renowned units to come out of World War II. The Marauders
established a lasting reputation for hard fighting and tenacity in
the face of adversity, combating a determined enemy, some of the
most difficult and disease-ridden terrain in the world, and a
seemingly indifferent higher command. Pushed beyond the limit of
their endurance, at the end of nearly six months of operations
behind Japanese lines, the remaining Marauders were withdrawn from
combat after suffering over 90% casualties. Because of its
courageous actions, the unit received the very rare honor of having
every member presented with a Bronze Star for gallantry. This book
explores the creation, training and combat experiences of the
Marauders, one of the most famous units in the US Army's roll of
honor.
