Cloud of glory

the long version

"Cloud of Glory takes us beyond the gates of Parris Island to the place where Marines are made. This fictional tale is based in part on the author's experiences there in the early nineteen eighties. The reader experiences along with the characters the pain, fear and triumphs - along with the strange brand of humor - that a young recruit endures as a potential member of America's 'Force in Readiness'."--P. [4] of cover.
