Marines in the Garden of Eden – Book ReviewRick Baillergeon | July 11, 2006 | one comment | Print | E-mail The last technique the author employs is the use of page footnotes. Personally, I am a fan of the page note. It is helpful for me to look at the bottom of the page to see clarification or expansion on a word or sentence. I do not like to thumb back to the end of the chapter of the completion of the book. I know others who feel that the page notes are a distraction. Again, I thought he made an excellent choice. With so many books currently available on the Iraq War, a potential reader can feel a bit overwhelmed. With this being the case, reviews do serve an important purpose. Hopefully, in this review I have conveyed that Marines in the Garden of Eden is a book that is truly worth reading. I believe readers will find it extremely informative and interesting. Most importantly, it captures the human dimension of war that is so often missing in this genre of books. Pages: 1 2Help Armchair General by bookmarking to

One Comment to “Marines in the Garden of Eden – Book Review”
Hello Rick, nice review. My youngest son Matthew just joined the Marines and I was scanning the net looking for general military information when I say you name. Did you play ball with me at Ferris a really long time ago? It would be good to talk to you some time. dp
