Why read it?
1 author picked Corps Business as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a little gem that not that many people have read. If you have Air Force, Army, and Navy - why would you need anything more? Well, US Marines have chaos and unpredictability as their normality.

From Marcus' list on leadership and change management.
