Title: Retreat Hell!
Product review: I own the book. I have yet to read it. But skimming it, I noticed that that author Wilson doesn't know the difference between the "First Marine Division" and the "1st Marines". The "1st Marines" applies to the 1st Marine Regiment, one of the 4 regiments that comprised (i.e., and also today comprise the 1st Marine Division)- the other regiments being the 5th and the 7th Marines (infantry), and the 11th Marines (artillery). It is evident that Wilson wasn't a Marine. It is clear that when he says "1st Marines", he means "First Marine Division", which was the Marine unit that distinguished itself in the famous Chosin campaign in Korea in 1950. As a former Marine myself, I think that I'd find this error disconcerting during the read. Who knows... there might be other errors, omissions, etc.; not just nomenclature but also events, etc. And if Wilson paid someone to edit his book, he should ask for his money back. Shoddy research.
