Description

About the Book

Recounting his return to boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina, the author offers an inside view of the Marine Corps through eighty-eight days of survival, rifle practice, war games, and forced marches.

Book Synopsis

"BOOT" is an insider's account, told by a former Marine and veteran journalist who went back to Parris Island to see if today's grunt measures up to the crack troops he served with in the South Pacific. He follows the recruits of Platoon 1036 from Day One through every step of the rugged training that transforms raw recruits into a fighting elite. His searingly honest, you-are-there coverage brings these unforgettable weeks to life... and lets anyone who's been there judge for himself if today's brand of "tough" is tough enough for a real Leatherneck, a man proud to be a Marine.
