Özet

The gripping story of an extraordinary American hero, the most decorated man in US Marine Corps history, from a New York Times best-selling author.

In the glorious chronicles of the US Marine Corps, no name is more revered than that of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. The only fighting man to receive the Navy Cross five separate times - a military honor second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor - he was the epitome of a professional warrior. A son of the South, descendant of Robert E. Lee, and cousin to George S. Patton, Puller began his enlisted career during World War I and moved up through the ranks as he proved his battlefield mettle in Haiti and Nicaragua, with the Horse Marines in Peking, in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and in the nightmarish winter engagements of the Korean War.

Fearless and seemingly indestructible, adored by the troops he championed yet forced into early retirement by a high command that resented his "lowly" beginnings and unwillingness to play politics, Puller remains one of most towering figures in American military history. Bestselling military biographer Burke Davis paints the definitive portrait of this extraordinary marine hero.

Ingot this on a whim, I found myself stuck in the story and enjoyed hearing about a man who truly knew the suck.

I had heard of General Lewis "Chesty" Puller but knew little of him or his career until listening to this book (which was perfectly narrated) . A US Marine for over 30 years he rose from being a private to General, was awarded 5 Navy Stars and a galaxy of other awards, He fought in Central America in the 1920s and 30s, across the Pacific in the 40s and in Korea in the 50s. Held in awe by his contemporaries and idolised by his subordinates he was the Marine's Marine. His leadership, honesty and personal example may seem old fashioned but they made him the epitome of an officer. His story deserves to be more widely heard.
