Reseña del libro "Esprit de Corps, a Novel Inspired by Actual Events (en Inglés)"

Will Brown, a small town boy from West Virginia, an inexperienced youth who gets cold feet when he's with his childhood sweetheart and cringes at confrontations with loud mouthed bullies, dreams of joining the Marines so he can become the man he longs to be. Sidesplitting antics include Will's first experience in a rowdy Southern bar, training his uncooperative hound dog, a traumatic night at the dance, a wedding, recruitment and survival techniques as Will is molded into a Marine. Along with laughter, it's a sober reminder of the horrifying price paid for war. While in the trenches of enemy territory, Will's life is changed as he endures hardships far away from home and watches brave men give their lives to rescue others. Although a fictional tale, readers will find details about the Marine Corps' strenuous and excellent training at Parris Island, Camp Lejeune and Camp Pendleton during the sixties, and the Marines' incredible fortitude required throughout the War in Vietnam. * * * Herbert H. Roebuck had an outstanding career in the U.S. Marine Corps including service in Vietnam. He was born in 1928 in Tampa, Florida. His many experiences over the years inspired this book. He has received recognition for recruiting over 931 Marines. Herbert's experiences in the Marine Corps and his creative ideas inspired Connie Bertelsen Young to write "Esprit De Corps." Her first book, "Signs of the Time" was published in 2013. She has also written a humor column called "Valley Gal" for two San Joaquin Valley, California newspapers and many of her stories and articles have been published in various books and magazines.
