From 1899 until 1945, the United States Marine Corps "Fought Our Country's Battles" in a series of "Small Wars" starting in the Philippines in February 1899 until the end of World War II against the Japanese in the Southwest Pacific. In each of these conflicts, the Marine Corps perfected the prosecution of such wars in its famed "Small Wars Manual" written at the Marine Corps Schools in the late 1930s. This book is a chronological examination of the Marine Corps and the lessons learned in the various expeditions in the Pacific, West Indies, Central America, and in the Southwest Pacific against the Japanese during WWII.
