Devil Dog: The Amazing True Story of the Man Who Saved America
reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


Well-written, fast-paced, very readable narrative about Smedley Butler, a multi-medalled Marine who served as the 19th Century turned to the 20th in a variety of battlefields: China, Haiti, the Bonus Army, Nicaragua, and more. An interesting look at a period of U.S. history that doesn't get covered very well in schools today.
