Offers an historically rigorous, and intensely human survey of the burden shouldered by the Second Battalion of the Sixth Regiment of US Marines from its formation in Quantico, Virginia, in 1917 until the cessation of hostilities in November of the following year. In places like Belleau Wood and Soissons, these young men died in staggering numbers primarily because of the outmoded tactics they had learned.
