Publisher's Comments (cont.)
This multi-disciplinary biography of Marine Corps commandant Thomas Holcomb examines the combination of personality and skills that allowed the inter-war leader of a shrinking and weakened corps to build and train the fighting force that would, only a few years later, hold the keys to victory in the Pacific. The work presents a discussion of the institutional history of the Marines, the social history of the times and an analysis of the organizational and managerial strategies used by Holcomb to present this first comprehensive biography of the father of the modern corps. Ulbrich is a historian at the US Army Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
