Marines,

I'm looking for some literature that pertains to Marine Corps history, boot camp, or even memoirs of current/past Marines. I love to read this type of literature and learn its valuable message. I have already ordered "Devil Dog Diary" and "Making the Corps" upon recommendation.

I would appreciate it very much.

Respectfully,
Poolee Timmons

They'll have just about anything you could think of and this way, you can look and see what interests you.

The March Up and No True Glory are two books my Bing West that are 100% Marine Corps. The March Up is about the invasion of Iraq and taking Baghdad and No True Glory is about the Battle Of Fallujah. both good books that give you an idea of what being a combat Marine is all about in this day and age.

Marines, if you would I have one more question about literature:

Can someone recommend an updated book on Marine Corps history?

Respectfully,
