descriptif du fournisseur
The extraordinary life of forgotten World War II hero Evans Carlson, commander of America's first special forces, secret confidant of FDR, and one of the most controversial officers in the history of the Marine Corps, who dedicated his life to bridging the cultural divide between the United States and China

<"He was a gutsy old man." "A corker," said another. "You couldn't find anyone better." They talked about him in hushed tones. "This Major Carlson," wrote one of the officers in a letter home, "is one of the finest men I have ever known."<

These were the words of the young Marines training to be among the first U.S. troops to enter the Second World War--and the Major Carlson they spoke of was Evans Carlson, a man of mythical status even before the war that would make him a military legend. By December of 1941, at the age of 45, Carlson had already faced off against Sandinistas in the jungles of Nicaragua and served multiple tours in China, where he embedded with Mao's communist forces during the Sino-Japanese War and learned their guerrilla tactics. These were the tactics he would import to the Pacific Theater in 1942 with his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of America's special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal with the collaborative spirit of "gung ho"--a phrase Carlson introduced to the English language.
