In the annals of military history, few names resonate with the echo of undiluted valor and sheer, unyielding courage like that of Lieutenant General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. "Marine!" by Burke Davis is a riveting chronicle that follows the storied career of this iconic figure from the harrowing sands of Guadalcanal to the frostbitten hills of Korea. With a narrative as compelling as it is factual, Davis peels back the layers of a man who became more myth than flesh, revealing the heart and soul of a warrior who never backed down, no matter the odds. Burke Davis's masterful biography does more than just catalog Puller's legendary exploits across four decades of American military history; it serves as a testament to the spirit of the United States Marine Corps. Through painstaking research and interviews, Davis offers an unparalleled glimpse into the life of the only Marine to be awarded five Navy Crosses. This book is not merely a collection of battlefield heroics but a poignant exploration of what it means to lead, to fight, and to embody the ethos of the Marine Corps. "Marine!" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the sacrifice, the pain, and the glory of serving one's country.
