Best Marine Corps Public Affairs Reference Book
Colonel Hemenez's amazing compilation of Marines in performing arts is a Public Affairs dream. Listing thousands of Marine-related works in novels, poetry, plays, films, and many other different genres, this book is a must for any Marine, former Marine, library, or historian. Colonel Hemenez has ingeniously filled a vast hole in researching Marine Corps History through the arts. In the close to 15 years I have shared with the Marine Corps, I have never read a book that has told me as many stories about the Marine Corps. It is great to see how powerful a force the Marine Corps has been in the artistic and popular culture.

REVIEW FROM A RETIRED MARINE COLONEL
AS A FORMER HISTORY MAJOR AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE (MANY YEARS AGO), I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO BUY AND READ THIS OUTSTANDING HISTORY OF THE MARINE CORPS. EVERYTHING IN PRINT, MOVIES, TAPES, ETC. IS LISTED. IT IS A FANTASTIC WORK OF ART AND I HATE TO THINK HOW MANY, HOURS AND DAYS RICHARD L. HERMENEZ SPENT IN COMPPILING THIS MASTERPIECE. I RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY TO ALL MARINES AND OTHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE CORPS. SEMPER FIDELIS, PAUL W. GLOVER JR.

Great Reference On Marine Corps History!
The author has provided a most valuable and long needed reference works for anyone interested in Marine Corps History. Much of what is known to us of our military history and heritage has come to us from those who have set down in writing their personal experiences, perceptions and thoughts of events know to them. And many of these writings, many of them diaries, personal letters, etc. have eventually developed into, books, movies, television productions, etc. Browsing through the pages of this new book, I have found listed many of the films and books I knew as a very young man, and, in part, through which I knew that I would one day earn the title of U.S. Marine. I also found in these pages many more resources which I had forgotten, been looking for, or had never known of. What a great way to find that training film I saw way back in the early '50s--was it William Bendix who portaryed the master mortarman of the Marine Corps, Lou Diamond, or was it Ward Bond as other Marines have argued over the years? What about that movie titled "Retreat Hell?" Is it true that Col. Pete Ortiz, the famous OSS Marine of WWII, had a part in that movie? How many books have been written about the Marine Raiders of WWII? And, what about Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines? What was that referring to? Now, at last, all of the above questions, and more, can be searched out in one single volume. The book has provided us a means to relive, remember, and reconsider those many experiences of many years ago. Semper Fidelis Dick Gaines GySgt USMC (Ret.) 1952-72 GunnyG@hotmail.com ... Read more
