This visual history sheds light on forgotten parts of World War II history through the lens of the US Marine Corps, serving everywhere outside of the Pacific.

When we think of US Marine involvement in World War II, we invariably think of the Pacific - and while a majority of the Corps did serve in there, the Marine Corps actually served in all theaters of the war. Marines fought Axis forces in Operation Torch in North Africa, landed on D-Day, parachuted behind enemy lines in France, made commando raids in Italy, attacked German submarines in the Caribbean and continued to guard the East Coast of the United States.

Compiled from years of research from the National Archives, databases, and private collections, this new book offers a visual history of the Marine Corps and sheds light onto the overlooked aspects of its service in World War II. Marine Corps veteran Isaac Lamberth uses firsthand archival material, period images, and newspaper articles to chart the Corps' contribution to every theater of the war. Through their own words, Marines showcase how they worked, lived, trained, and fought in Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and the Atlantic.

Then, as now, Marines fought in every clime and place.
