In what is sure to become a classic, \"Boys of '67\" follows the careers of a group of young second lieutenants from their baptism of fire in Vietnam, through the Cold War, and to the current insurgency in Iraq. In Vietnam, they experienced the Tet Offensive, the siege at Khe Sanh, and the 1972 Easter Offensive. They went on to serve eyeball-to-eyeball with North Koreans in the DMZ, and later they participated in the 1983 invasion of Grenada, operations in Beirut, and Desert Storm. Some would never make it out of Vietnam alive. Some would be crippled by wounds. All would fight like tigers, and one would rise to the very top, commanding the Marine Corps they all loved. Features previously secret battles between Marine generals and Army generals Tommy Franks and Norman Schwarzkopf. Includes a look inside the Pentagon on 9/11 as well as an intriguing look at the divergent views that swirled in secret inside the Pentagon during the planning of invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. One of the \"Boys\" becomes the first Marine named Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Also includes the story of Staff Sgt. Manny Cox, who died in Beirut and is the only enlisted man to be honored by having a building at Quantico named after him as well as the first official rebuttal by a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Tommy Franks' account in his 2004 autobiography of the way the invasion of Iraq was planned. A sweeping saga of the United States Marine Corps.
