Since 1775, America's smallest armed service has been suspicious of outsiders and deeply loyal to its traditions. Marines believe in nothing more strongly than the Corps' uniqueness and superiority, and this undying faith in its own exceptionalism is what has made the Marines one of the sharpest, swiftest tools of American military power. Along with unapologetic self-promotion, a strong sense of identity has enabled the Corps to exert a powerful influence on American politics and culture. Aaron O'Connell focuses on the period from World War II to Vietnam, when the Marine Corps transformed itself from America's least respected to its most elite armed force."--Provided by publisher. 001403948 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001403948 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bMarine Corps$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001403948 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bMarine Corps$$xMilitary life$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001403948 650_0 $$aSociology, Military$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001403948 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aO'Connell, Aaron B., 1973-$$tUnderdogs.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2012$$z9780674058279$$w(DLC) 2012006344$$w(OCoLC)778636743 001403948 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001403948 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10614095$$zOnline Access 001403948 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:484845$$pGLOBAL_SET 001403948 980__ $$aEBOOK 001403948 980__ $$aBIB 001403948 982__ $$aEbook 001403948 983__ $$aOnline
