About the Book

Most Marine Corps memoirs focus on combat, heroism, and the bonds of brotherhood. So Help Me God: A U.S Marine's memoir of abuse, corruption, and Self-Discovery tells a very different story-one about surviving abuse, intimidation, and toxic leadership inside the infantry. In 2011, Charles Verlice joined the US Marine Corps and served as an infantry rifleman in a unit where the real battles weren't fought overseas-they were fought at home. Under the command of senior enlisted leaders, he endured harassment, threats on his life, physical assault, and systemic efforts to keep him silent. The culture of silence and fear allowed corruption and abuse to flourish unchecked. This is not a war story. It is a story of survival, resilience, and the fight to reclaim one's voice. With unflinching honesty, So Help Me, God: A U.S Marine's Memoir of Abuse, Corruption, and Self-Discovery exposes the toxic leadership and moral failures that too often go unreported in the military, while exploring the personal cost of living under intimidation and betrayal. For readers of military memoirs, true stories of trauma and survival, and institutional exposés, this memoir provides a rare inside look at the challenges faced by those who serve under oppressive command structures. It is a testament to courage, perseverance, and the urgent need for accountability within the U.S. Marine Corps. "My greatest battle wasn't fought overseas-it was surviving inside my own unit." - Chuck Verlice So Help Me, God: A U.S Marine's Memoir of Abuse, Corruption, and Self-Discovery is a must-read for anyone seeking a raw, honest, and powerful account of military life beyond the battlefield.

About the Author :
Charles Verlice was born in the mid-west and spent the first eleven years of his life moving from place to place with his military family. He lived in North Dakota, Virginia, and England until finally moving to Florida where his family settled in a small town not too far from the Alabama border. As a teenager, Charles - or Chuck as he went by - spent countless hours hunting, hiking, running, and being at one with nature. Chuck described himself as the ultimate under achiever in high school, a trait which led him to join the USMC where he served as an infantry rifleman until his honorable discharge in 2014. After his discharge, Chuck found it hard to assimilate back into civilian life and struggled to find a place to live. He struggled with PTSD, depression, and panic disorder for years after being discharged from the USMC. Chuck eventually received his undergraduate degree in English from Florida State University in 2019 and then went on to receive his master's in business administration (MBA) in 2022. Today Chuck lives in Palm Coast Florida making his living in corporate banking and writing on the side. When asked what the proudest thing is he has ever achieved in his life is, Chuck says, "not proud of anything, just glad it's over.".
