It shows them at their finest moment in the Pacific War against Japan, detailing their development of amphibious warfare and the challenges they faced in the island-hopping campaigns that eventually ensured the enemy's defeat.

In addition to accounts of their bravery in action, the legacy of the Marine Corps is evaluated, describing their humanitarian tasks in conflicts today alongside their enduring fighting strengths.
