SynopsisA primary preoccupation of the United States Marine Corps between the world wars were the socalled "Banana Wars" in Nicaragua during the 20s and 30s. Over the years the Corps presence ebbed and flowed as varied Nicaraguan political factions came to control the local government., A compelling history of the Banana Wars in Central America focuses on the U.S. Marines and their campaign to quell a popular guerilla movement in Nicaragua.

Great portrayal of Marine Corp lore of renewed relevance
Book is out of print now, which I find odd because of the heavily attention and praise being garnered by the Marine Corps Small Wars Manual of 1940; the text of which is forged by the experiences detailed by Clark---combat readiness all the way down to the rank of private. To my knowledge, no other book written by a Marine is singularly focused on the Banana Wars despite the great legend of Marines who were trialed in combat in these conflicts. Perhaps the (interwar) context of the Small Wars Manual, for all of its doctrinal contribution, is one preferred forgotten when hedged against the easily articulated righteousness of Belleau Wood or Guadalcanal. Nonetheless, given the nature of our current terrorist enemy, the bandits of Clark's telling seem not dissimilar.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
