Brute - The Life of Victor Krulak, U.S. Marine (Paperback)

From the earliest days of his 34-year military career, Victor
'Brute' Krulak displayed a facility for applying creative ways of
fighting to the Marine Corps. He went on daring spy missions during
the Second Sino-Japanese War, pioneered the use of amphibious
vehicles and masterminded the invasion of Okinawa. In Vietnam, his
Marines were more successful than the Army and many think that
Vietnam might have been different had all US forces employed
Krulak's ideas. And yet it can be argued that all of his wartime
accomplishments pale in comparison to what he did after World War
II: he single-handedly stopped the U.S. government from abolishing
the Marine Corps. Now the biographer Robert Coram presents us with
a remarkably rounded and deeply intimate portrait of the legendary
marine who receives much of the credit for America's victory in the
Pacific, the successful D-Day landing and ultimately America's
triumph in World War II. Coram gained unprecedented access to the
man behind the military myth - and besides revealing the full
extent of his achievements, reveals his deepest secret-one that he
feared could have destroyed his career.
