Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Making the Corps visits the front lines of boot camp, Parris Island, South Carolina. Here, old values are stripped away and new, Marine Corps values are forged. Acclaimed military journalist Thomas E. Ricks follows these men from their hometowns, through boot camp, and into their first year as Marines. As three fierce drill instructors fight a battle for the hearts and minds of this unforgettable group of young men, a larger picture emerges, brilliantly painted, of the growing gulf that divides the military from the rest of America. Review:Steven Komarow USA Today A thousand years from now, a historian looking at the U.S. military will do well to cite Rick's book. Review:Samuel Freedman Chicago Tribune Anyone reading this book cannot help but think that America has many lessons to learn from the Marines. Review:Stephen E. Ambrose author of Citizen Soldiers and Undaunted Courage This is a wonderful book. Ricks combines fine descriptive writing, thoughtful comparisons between the Corps of today and the past, and between the Corps and the U.S. Army, and insightful speculation about the future of the Corps — all enclosed in as good a piece of storytelling as I have read in decades.
