More about the book
The book chronicles the historical partnership between the United States Marine Corps and the Department of State, beginning in 1775. It details the Marines' involvement in diplomatic missions, from accompanying diplomats to France in 1778 to their crucial roles during the Barbary Wars and in opening China. The establishment of the Marine Legation Guard in 1905 marked a significant evolution in their duties, with Marines increasingly safeguarding embassies worldwide. The ongoing war on terrorism underscores the enduring importance of this collaboration in modern diplomacy.
