About this book

Pete Ellis: An Amphibious Warfare Prophet, 1880-1923 (Leatherneck Classics) by Ballendorf, Estate of Dirk A.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781591140269.

Few Marines have had more impact on the corps history than Pete Ellis, and none have been more controversial. This biography of the brilliant yet troubled Marine disputes many long-accepted but unsubstantiated accounts of his life and death. Elliss legacy as the father of amphibious warfare is fully examined by the authors, who searched through family papers, fitness reports, Japanese sources, and interviewed eyewitnesses to solve the mysteries of Elliss tragic life.
