Les Marines - Histoires d'un mythe américain

Autor: Nicolas Aubin

Número de Páginas: 368

Les Marines, ou le mythe américain par excellence. Le présent ouvrage permet au lecteur de découvrir la riche histoire d'un corps d'élite devenu incontournable et pourtant totalement méconnu. En effet, personne en France ne connaît ses cent cinquante premières années avant 1918 et la bataille du bois Belleau, personne ne sait qu'il a d'abord été méprisé, brocardé pour ses performances médiocres, réduit à portion congrue, menacé de dissolution avant de devenir un corps d'élite, un mythe, et la seule unité militaire dont l'existence est garantie par un texte de loi voté en 1952. Au cours de ses recherches, l'auteur a découvert que la légende des Marines avait précédé leur excellence militaire. Pour ne pas disparaître, ces derniers ont inventé le lobbying moderne, infiltrant les partis politiques, recrutant des chargés de communication civils, idéalisant leur histoire pour devenir incontournables. La légende a donc été fabriquée par quelques chefs de corps (Henderson, Lejeune), avec des valeurs choisies pour s'enraciner au plus profond de la culture américaine : mythe chrétien, mythe de la frontière, mythe pionnier, avant d'être à ce point...

The Marines' Fight for Survival

Autor: Rod Andrew Jr.

Número de Páginas: 436

Only five years after Marines raised the American flag on Iwo Jima, the United States Marine Corps was close to becoming a hollow force. A parsimonious Truman administration and a hostile defense secretary, Louis Johnson, had reduced the Corps to a handful of understrength infantry battalions, assorted supporting artillery and tank units, and twelve aircraft squadrons. Its future hung in the balance. In The Marines’ Fight for Survival, historian and retired Marine Corps Colonel Rod Andrew Jr. guides readers through the dramatic twists and turns of the campaign waged by a handful of senior Marines, citizens, legislators, and journalists to defend the Corps and prevent its elimination or forced irrelevance. Through politicking, intrigue, deception, and extreme moral courage, the Corps’ defenders waged a bitter battle of policy and publicity in the halls of power and the national media. But while this campaign of persuasion moved the needle in some important ways, the final victory for the Marines’ future was ultimately won on the battlefields of Korea. Andrew argues that it was the gritty performance of the frontline Marines and their supporting airmen in Korea that ultimately ...

U.S. Marines and Irregular Warfare

Autor: Nicholas J. Schlosser

Número de Páginas: 140

U.S. Marines in Irregular Warfare: Training and Education is a brief history that recounts how the U.S. Marine Corps adapted to fight the Global War on Terrorism during 2000-10. The Marine Corps has a long history of fighting irregular wars, including the Banana Wars in Central America during the 1920s and the Vietnam War during the 1960s. To battle the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Corps drew upon this experience while also implementing new plans and programs to better prepare Marines to carry out counterinsurgency operations. The Marine Corps updated the curriculum at the Command and Staff College and transformed the annual Combined Arms Exercise into Exercise Mojave Viper: an immersive training program that simulated the urban environments in which Marines would be operating in Southwest Asia. Most importantly, Marines adjusted in the field, as battalion and company commanders drew on their basic training and education to devise innovative tactics to better combat the new threats they now faced. ?us, as this story shows, the Marine Corps did not undergo a radical transformation to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, but instead drew on principles that had defined it as a ...
