The gripping story of an extraordinary American hero, the most decorated man in US Marine Corps history, from a New York Times best-selling author.

In the glorious chronicles of the US Marine Corps, no name is more revered than that of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. The only fighting man to receive the Navy Cross five separate times - a military honor second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor - he was the epitome of a professional warrior. A son of the South, descendant of Robert E. Lee, and cousin to George S. Patton, Puller began his enlisted career during World War I and moved up through the ranks as he proved his battlefield mettle in Haiti and Nicaragua, with the Horse Marines in Peking, in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and in the nightmarish winter engagements of the Korean War.

Fearless and seemingly indestructible, adored by the troops he championed yet forced into early retirement by a high command that resented his "lowly" beginnings and unwillingness to play politics, Puller remains one of most towering figures in American military history. Bestselling military biographer Burke Davis paints the definitive portrait of this extraordinary marine hero.

The story had everything, thrill, humor, atmosphere, historic insights. I couldn't want more.

The speaker though annoyed me through out the many hours with an otherwise nice voice, but spoke barely understandably and not loud enough - mixed with being too loud all of a sudden, bursting out loudly when he read in the first person.

Loved the story - not the speaker
