The uniform and insignia of the United States Marine Corps has constantly evolved since its origins in 1798 with establishment of the American Navy. In this new illustrated book, Charles Cureton traces the changes from the earliest versions to the uniforms and emblems worn in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. Many of the photographs, which show the uniform, the equipment, and the men themselves, have not been published before.
