Chesty Puller is the greatest Marine ever, and this book delves into the events that shaped this man. This book taps into the ineffencies that Puller had but also showed the strengths that Puller strived on. It's very interesting to see that Chesty was not very strong in the math department but was well versed in all the great battles of Rome, Napoleanic wars, Robert E Lee campaign, Persians and many more. Chesty was an avid reader of the classics and utilized those images to help him fight future wars.

When my husband was in the Marines he read this book while passing time in the barracks. Unbelievable story about one of the Marine Corps' greatest heroes and legends. After he finished the book he passed it around the barracks and recommended it to everyone. If you like Biographies or the military give this book a read.
