Before the Green Berets...Before the Navy SEALs...Before the Army
Rangers...There was the Long Patrol."
November 1942: in the hellish combat zone of Guadalcanal, one man
would make history.
Lieutenant Colonel Evans Carlson was considered a maverick by many
of his comrades-and seen as a traitor by some. He spent years
observing guerrilla tactics all over the world, and knew that those
tactics could be adapted effectively by the Marines.
Carlson and an elite fighting force-the 2nd Raider
Battalion-embarked upon a thirty-day mission behind enemy lines
where they disrupted Japanese supplies, inflicted a string of
defeats on the enemy in open combat, and gathered invaluable
intelligence on Japanese operations on Guadalcanal. And in the
process they helped lay the foundation for Special Forces in the
modern military.
Here for the first time is a riveting account of one man, one
battalion, and one mission that would resonate through the annals
of military history.
