Belleau Wood: The Battle That Made the Marines
Description
June 1918. A choking forest. Gas, machine-gun nests, and a German advance cutting toward Paris. Into that hell marched a fighting force the world barely knew: the United States Marine Corps.
Belleau Wood was not just another World War I clash; it was the moment the Marines became the Marines. Their counterattacks were relentless, their losses staggering, and their reputation forged in blood and splintered timber. The Germans called them Teufelshunde -Devil Dogs - not out of poetry, but fear.
