One of Us : Officers of Marines--Their Training, Traditions, and Values

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Social scientists will wish there were some expository notes and willl regret that the index and bibliography are cursory. This will not diminish the enjoyment of readers who want to be reassured that essential ethic of the marine corps endures and is being passed on to future generations of Marine leaders.”–Proceedings
“One of Us is a solid line of departure for further examination of how the Corps selects, screens, and indoctrinates its officers. It reinforces what Xenophon wrote centuries ago, "No one can be a good officer who does not undergo more than those he commands."”–Marine Corps Gazette

Book Description
This engaging book plunges readers into the culture shock of Marine Officer Candidates School, a ten-week physical, intellectual, and emotional testing ground so grueling that every fourth candidate fails to complete.
