The US Marine Corps and Defense Unification, 1944-47

The author examines the role of the U.S. Marine Corps in the controversy which erupted on Capitol Hill over the reorganization of our armed forces after WWII. The fierce debate which followed involved the Marine Corps in a struggle to survive as a separate force, really only ending with the outbreak of war on the Korean Peninsula.
