Journey into Hazard: Marines on Mission, 1805-1945, first published in 1962 as Hazard: Marines on Mission, is a recounting of some of the most notable personalities and events in the history of the U.S. Marine Corps: from its humble beginnings in the early 1800s and the fight in the North African Barbary Wars, to the "ideal Marine" Lou Diamond, to the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima and the sad fate of Pima Indian Ira Hayes. While not a book of combat, Journey into Hazard provides insight into a number of nearly forgotten incidents that shaped both the Marines and the United States.
