New Breed

As a Marine combat veteran and a successful writer of fiction and non-fiction, Andrew Geer was ideally suited to tell this story of the U.S. Marines in Korea. In preparing this book, which was first published in 1952, Geer had access to the complete file of Marine combat reports and was able to gather material at first hand as an active Marine field officer during the dreadful winter, spring and summer of 1950-51 in Korea. He interviewed 697 Marines individually in preparing this history.
