Marine Machine: The Making of the United States Marine

William Mares

First Edition 1971 - Doubleday & Company, New York

Welcome to Boot Camp.  Described as ten weeks of pure hell, this is a vivid chronicle of that indelible experience of becoming a US Marine as seen by a young professional photographer who once shared it.  Armed with pen and camera, he followed a 75-man platoon through every aspect of basic training, a world of intense mental and physical suffering dominated by a man who is teacher-priest-guard-father-mother hen, and for the recruits, a sadistic jailer - The Drill Instructor
