Half-Assed Marines by novelist Seamon Glass follows World War II, teen-Marine Sherman Glossman as he tries to play his patriotic duty to fight fascism and battle against the Japanese Empire's incursions into the Pacific theatre. Anxious to see action, Sherman and his unit of like-minded, young warriors find that getting into the war is harder than they thought as they face trials, tribulations, unwarlike adventures, and their share of romance everywhere but on the battlefield. Moving from island to island, and adventure to adventure, Sherman and his cohorts come of age during one of the pivotal wars of the millennium, and despite their frustration at not being on the front lines, they are all changed forever being part of this unlikely band of brothers. Written in masterful and engrossing prose, author Glass captures the zeitgeist of an era, and has written a coming-of-age, war epic that ranks with the best in the genre. Filled with rich settings, multi-dimensional characters, and action-packed subplots, Half-Assed Marines will be sure to please military fiction buffs and anyone who just loves a great story well told.

Fast. Motivated. Hard-hitting. That's what every business wants to be. And that's why the U.S. Marines excel in every mission American throws at them, no matter how tough the odds. In Corps Business, journalist David H. Freeman identifies the Marine's simple but devastatingly effective principles for managing people and resources -- and ultimately winning. Freedman discusses such techniques as "the rule of three," "managing by end state," and the "70% solution," to show how they can be applied to business solutions.

A rousing new Marine Corps adventure from the author of the New York Times bestselling Warning of War and The Marines of Autumn The Marine is Colonel James ("Oliver") Cromwell, a warrior forged at Notre Dame and the Berlin of Hitler's Olympics, and honed by combat at Guadalcanal as one of Carlson's Marine Raiders. With the world at peace, the thirty-five-year old Cromwell is restlessly, if pleasantly, beached on garrison duty in California, aware of how much he misses the war, when he is ordered to fresh duty beyond the seas, as military attaché to the American ambassador in a dull Asian backwater half a world away. There, at dawn on a June Sunday, Ollie gets his wish for action. Korea violently erupts and Colonel Cromwell is caught up in the early, panicked, rout. While South Koreans cut and run, the first GIs hurried into battle are brushed aside by advancing Red tanks and tough peasant infantry. The Marine chronicles the war-hardened Cromwell's experience of the dramatic First Hundred Days of a brutal three-year Korean War, the chaos and cowardice of retreat, the last-ditch gallantry of the Pusan Perimeter, MacArthur's brilliant left hook sending Marines against the deadly seawall at Inchon, and the bloody assault to liberate Seoul and promote MacArthur's 1952 presidential ambitions. Ollie Cromwell's is the story of a "forgotten war" that never truly ended, but for a bitter truce along what a recent U.S. president called "the most dangerous border in the world." In The Marine, James Brady crafts a powerful novel of one man's service to his country and Corps.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran gives a personal account of his twenty-five years of service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in this memoir. From a Gulf War grunt to a full-fledged Marine Major in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Andrew Hesterman saw it all. Radioman offers a highly personal and unfiltered view of the Marine Corps as it transitioned from the post-Vietnam analog Reagan era to the post-9/11 high-tech George W. Bush and Obama years. Radioman begins with Andy as a recruit at boot camp and the ensuing training that leads to formally becoming a Marine. After comm school and the reserves, Andy is called to active duty in 1991 for the Gulf War, where he experiences combat up close in Kuwait. The next personally, professionally, and politically tumultuous decade brings marriage (and divorce), flight school and helicopter missions in Kosovo, the shock of 9/11, another marriage, and children. Andy’s journey culminates as an officer in Iraq, where he directs air support for the Marines in Fallujah. Co-authored by Robert Einaudi, a close friend of Hesterman’s since high school, Radioman provides an honest and vivid military portrait of the Marine Corps and the modern U.S. military seen through the experiences of one Marine. Praise for Radioman “Both gripping and honest, Radioman is also told with a humor and humility that makes for an extremely pleasurable read.” —Scott Anderson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Quiet Americans “Radioman tells a universal story—about war, family, and growing up. Andy Hesterman’s 25 years in the Marines span a huge range of world events and personal experiences. I found myself laughing, rooting for him, and shaking my head at the insanity of it all. A great book!”—Nathaniel Fick, New York Times–bestselling author of One Bullet Away “From a recruit surviving boot camp to a Major flying combat helicopters and controlling F/A-18s in Iraq, Andy Hesterman shares the pride of the Corps and the pain of saying goodbye to your family for yet another deployment. With Radioman, you’ll feel like you’ve put on the Marine cammies and marched alongside Hesty for over two decades of service to our country.” —Dell Epperson, Captain, U.S. Navy (Retired)

Cutting through the headlines and spin, this is the first book to give us a true picture of the reality on the ground, through the words of the people there - from commanders to intelligence officers, army doctors to ordinary soldiers. Providing eye-witness accounts that contradict the official stories and figures, they give a chilling picture of the deceit, stupidity, wishful thinking, lack of forward planning and total intellectual failure of those behind the invasion. The result is an extraordinary new insight into the plight of ordinary soldiers doing nightmarish jobs, and the real nature of the fighting in Iraq.

It is late January 1968 when the first three incoming rounds hit Con Thien. It is undeniably the most terrifying event the rookie US Army soldiers have ever endured. Their doggie platoon sergeant, Walter Walling, who does not tolerate disrespect up or down, does his best to calm his troops. But with a North Vietnamese Army who likes laying in a few rounds and forcing the enemy to run, his job serving on the DMZ is a challenging one. As Sergeant Walling and his men, all from varying backgrounds and parts of the United States, do their best to learn an unfamiliar terrain and prepare for battle, the young American fighting men must bravely face the possibility of death while serving their country. But as a fight for power soon reveals the horrors of war in all its glory, one thing becomes certain: none of the men will return home the same as they were before. In this military story based on true events, a group of American soldiers find themselves at the end of a divided line between North and South Vietnam during 1968 and 1969.
