Title: Brute Pulls no punches
Review: Brute Krulak had an exceptional career as a Marine officer. This book is close to exceptional as it details many of the behind the scenes workings to save the Marine Corps after WWII and again after Korea. The general public is little aware of how close the Corps came to an ignominious end at the hands of President Truman as well as high level Army and Navy officers. Fortunately for the nation they were, in the end, unsuccessful. Also Brute tends to somewhat give himself more credit than in some instances is due. That, however, is a small failing and his well written history of the Corps comes off quite well.
