Book Reviews of Boot
Book Review: "Detailed and descriptive"
Summary: 4 Stars
This book will take you through Marine boot camp and leave nothing out! It was very informative and was exactly what I was looking for on some of the details and facts of training in the U.S. Marine Corps. It was nice of the author to mention a bit on the training of foreign elite armed forces, but I felt that U.S. Navy Seals and U.S. Army Special Forces and Rangers might be a better representative of the U.S. elite to compare with the foreign elite services. The Marines also have elite groups among themselves in the form of Force Recon and Scout/Snipers, so comparing Marines by itself to foreign elite services may be a bit tough. With the cultural and legal differences between the U.S. and other countries, I doubt that the training rigors will change much for the U.S. armed forces in the future.
