Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Maverick Marine is the story of a fascinating individual whose life and career epitomize the contradictory nature of American military policy through the first third of this century. In addition to recounting Butler's exciting life, Hans Schmidt here presents a political and social history of early twentieth-century American military exploits in the Caribbean, Central America, and the Far East.
