If Persico cannot research Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly ( " Come on you sonsabitches...do you want to live forever?!" at the Bois de Belleau wheat field correctly ( "Sgt Daly held two Navy crosses.." ) what else was totally incorrect in this book? Daly held TWO MOHS the day he stood up in that wheat field and led the charge into Belleau Woods, earning his one Navy Cross that day. he also protrays the MARINES as being almost defeated there and THAT is a lie. One MARINE Regiment DESTROYED 4 German Diviisons there. The French renamed Belleau Wood Bois de Brigada la MARINES ( Woods of the MARINES ) after that battle. Persico decides the outcome and then carefully writes onlt thos things that make him right, leaving out anything that cloudes his issue.
