Three War Marine Hero: General Raymond G. Davis

This is the first biography of General Raymond G. Davis, a Marine Corps officer who received decorations for bravery in World War II and the Korean War, and later served as a commanding general in Vietnam. A native of Georgia, Davis joined the Marine Corps after university and served in three wars. He was decorated for gallantry multiple times, including the Medal of Honor for his actions at Chosin, where his leadership saved American lives. He retired as a four-star general after 33 years of service. Author Dick Camp, a Marine veteran and historian, combines memoirs, firsthand accounts, and his own personal experiences with General Davis to create this biography. The book draws on Camp's time observing Davis in the field during the Vietnam War and explores Davis's career as an example of the Marine Corps during the mid-twentieth century.
