The author of this episodic but vivid series of sketches, John W. Thomason, was a Captain in the Corps, descended from a distinguished Southern military family. A natural writer, his colloquial account follows the Marines through France, giving an account of their most famous- and bloodiest - actions, including the Argonne Forest, Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry, Mont Blanc and St Mihiel. As well as the fighting itself, Thomason is good on off-duty anecdotes. First-hand American accounts of the Great War are rare. This is one of the best. It is profusely illustrated by the author's own excellent drawings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367971422431,"sku":"9781783317431","price":46.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/7s0fTn81HO9781783317431.webp?v=1789116992","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/fix-bayonets-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
