Leaders of Men

Author Anne Cipriano Venzon selected ten men whose skills and leadership clearly contributed to the formation of the ethos, which became the modern Marine Corps. Based on extensive research, most of it in little-used primary documents, the biographies of the ten men featured in Leaders of Men look both at the men and their role in various engagements and events. From Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the search for the Alabama during the Civil War to the Battle of Belleau Wood and _peacekeeping_ missions in China in the 1920s, the examination of these careers will give readers a better understanding of what it means to be a Marine.Venzon, Anne Cipriano is the author of 'Leaders of Men', published 2008 under ISBN 9780810860810 and ISBN 0810860813.
