[EAN: 9781449910341], [PU: No publisher indicated, [Lexington, KY?]], [Lexington, KY?]: No publisher indicated, 2012. INSCRIBED on the copyright page by Ebb 'Jack' Daughtery, who is listed in an appendix to the book as a PFC in the Marines E-2-7 Roster, August 1951, Korea. Near Fine condition. Flat, uncreased spine. Mild crease to front cover. NOT a library discard. NO bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. Illustrated with 80 photos and maps. Bound in the original pictorial wraps. From the author's Prologue: "EASY COMPANY MARINES - MORE THAN BROTHERS is a story about young men who fought in the Korean War during the years of 1951 and 1952. I was one of those young men. Our personalities are revealed through the hardships we endured fighting a determined, cunning enemy in unbearable weather. Most of us survived but, unfortunately, some of us died. The story recounts attacks on unnamed hills, our defensive positions during the peace talks, and the numerous patrols and ambushes that we prosecuted as well as the ones we repulsed. There are suspenseful moments, dreadful moments, moments of calm, and even moments of humor. Trusting my memory and that of many others who were in Korea, I have recorded the events in this story as accurately as possible. Only small amounts of dialogue can be remembered with any precision but the conversations in this writing reflect what happened at the time. There is no reason for me to believe that the anecdotes related to me by others are not true. The story begins with my enlistment in the Marine Corps and the rigors of boot camp and combat infantry training. It continues with life aboard a troop ship and my assignment to Easy Company, Second Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment of the First Marine Division. It describes my reactions and feelings at seeing dead people for the first time in my life, and seeing people, both enemy and friends, being killed. Several paragraphs are dedicated to individual men and their experiences. The story is from the personal viewpoint of a young Marine who had no idea where he was or what was happening. It is about actual combat, moments of fear, feelings and dreams, the reality of death, despair and relief.". INSCRIBED by Ebb 'Jack' Daughtery. Third printing of the 2009 original. Softcover.
