About the Book

In its list of the "Top 10 Badass Marines," Leatherneck magazine declared that Major George W. Hamilton "never asked anyone to do anything he wasn't prepared to do himself...and do better." Indeed, the author of A History of the United States Marine Corps once called Hamilton "the most outstanding Marine Corps hero in World War I." A leader of the first major American assault on June 6, 1918, and the last ranking officer in the American Expeditionary Forces to learn that the war was over, Hamilton remained in the thick of the fighting from start to finish. Although he earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, the Croix de Guerre, and two Medal of Honor recommendations for his service, Hamilton's fame stalled when he died prematurely in 1922. With this first complete biography, Hamilton takes his rightful place among the first rank of American military heroes.

Review :
“the United States Marine Corps emerged from the First World War with a reputation as a badass fighting force—it was the Germans who first called them ‘Devil Dogs’...one of the best of these and one that most of us have never heard of is [Hamilton]...battle scenes are especially well written...an excellent biography...a must for every WWI and USMC history bookshelf”—thepastinreview.weebly.com.
