Roger Wagner's Reviews > Brute: The Life of Victor Krulak, U.S. Marine

Enjoyed the book very much. Krulak was an amazing marine, but (as is often the case) his family (his three sons) benefited little from his greatness. The sub-plot concerning the jealousy and opposition to the USMC on the part of the other Army and Navy — if even half true — is disgraceful. Interesting to read of Krulak going nose-to-nose with President Lyndon Johnson over US strategy in Vietnam. Krulak called it as he saw it, and paid the price (he was not selected to be the Comandant of the Marine Corps).
