Puller, USMC","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatured on the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ Reading List and the Chief of Naval Operation’s “Naval Power” Reading List\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Marine Corps is known for its heroes, and Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller  has long been considered the greatest of them all. His assignments and activities  covered an extraordinary spectrum of warfare. Puller mastered small unit guerrilla  warfare as a lieutenant in Haiti in the 1920s, and at the end of his career commanded  a division in Korea. In between, he chased Sandino in Nicaragua and fought at Guadalcanal,  Cape Gloucester, and Peleliu. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With his bulldog face, barrel chest (which earned  him the nickname Chesty), gruff voice, and common touch, Puller became—and has remained—the  epitome of the Marine combat officer. At times Puller's actions have been called  into question—at Peleliu, for instance, where, against a heavily fortified position,  he lost more than half of his regiment. And then there is the saga of his son, who  followed in Chesty's footsteps as a Marine officer only to suffer horrible wounds  in Vietnam (his book, \u003ci\u003eFortunate Son\u003c\/i\u003e, won the Pulitzer Prize). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jon Hoffman has been  given special access to Puller's personal papers as well as his personnel record.   The result will unquestionably stand as the last word about Chesty Puller.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306517430560,"sku":"9780375760440","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780375760440.jpg?v=1772782618","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/chesty","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
