The first comprehensive biography of Lejeune (1867-1942), a Louisiana native and the most innovative and influential leader of the United States Marine Corps in the twentieth century. As Simon masterfully illustrates, the mission and value of the corps today spring largely from the efforts and vision of John Lejeune. 22 pages of photos.
