Book Description
Leatherhead is a series of cartoons by Sgt N. E. Packwood, Jr. About his time in marine corps boot camp. This is now a classic that should be cherished by Marines past, present and future. All the drawings leading back to WW2 are still very relevant to most in today's world. It's a small world, it's an even smaller Marine Corps. Every leatherneck should have a copy of this fun comic style illustration that dates back to 1951 originally published for the Marines Corps Association. This specific comic was also given to men on their very first day of boot camp through WWII. This relic is a great addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift for those who have gone before. If you know someone waiting to ship out, this is the perfect going away gift. RAH!

The Fist of God
Author: Frederick Forsyth
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0804181071
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal, international master of intrigue Frederick Forsyth, comes a thriller that brilliantly blends fact with fiction for one of this summer’s—or any season’s—most explosive reads! From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetings of Saddam Hussein’s war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running their dangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heart of Baghdad, Forsyth’s incomparable storytelling skill keeps the suspense at a breakneck pace. Somewhere in Baghdad is the mysterious “Jericho,” the traitor who is willing—for a price—to reveal what is going on in the high councils of the Iraqi dictator. But Saddam’s ultimate weapon has been kept secret even from his most trusted advisers, and the nightmare scenario that haunts General Schwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminent, unless somehow, the spy can locate that weapon—The Fist of God—in time. Peopled with vivid characters, brilliantly displaying Forsyth’s incomparable, knowledge of intelligence operations and tradecraft, moving back and forth between Washington and London, Baghdad and Kuwait, desert vastnesses and city bazaars, this breathtaking novel is an utterly convincing story of what may actually have happened behind the headlines.

The Pacific
Author: Hugh Ambrose
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101185848
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling official companion book to the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® miniseries. Look for The Pacific miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! Between America's retreat from China in late November 1941 and the moment General MacArthur's airplane touched down on the Japanese mainland in August of 1945, five men connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against Japan. From the debacle in Bataan, to the miracle at Midway and the relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, their solemn oaths to their country later led one to the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot and the others to the coral strongholds of Peleliu, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the killing fields of Okinawa, until at last the survivors enjoyed a triumphant, yet uneasy, return home. In The Pacific, Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of five men who put their lives on the line for our country. To deepen the story revealed in the HBO® miniseries and go beyond it, the book dares to chart a great ocean of enmity known as the Pacific and the brave men who fought.
