The history of the US Marine Corps is a recurring idea in the book. Roughly one half of the memoir is devoted to the general sweep of history involving the US Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater of World War II. While some actions of the US Army and Navy are considered, the focus of the narrative is clearly on the Marine Corps.
