The U.S. Marine Corps in Crisis: Ribbon Creek and Recruit Training

In 1956 a Marine drill instructor led his recruit platoon on a punitive night march across Ribbon Creek. Six men drowned, and the resulting court-martial became a national media sensation putting the future of the corps into question. This book explores the social, political, and historical context of this tragic moment in US military history.
