The Brigadier and the Baroness: In the Spirit of Semper Fidelis

by Richard T. Spooner

The fictional tale of a real character of old Marine Corps lore, a Marine gunnery sergeant named "Brigadier" whose serendipitous adventures recount historical battles from the eyes of an experienced young Marine who became a war hero and later, a trans-continental legend. From 19th century-to-World War I Marine Corps conflicts, from the Spanish American War to the birth of the famous 5th Marines, to the dawn of World War II, this story describes the thoughts, feelings and struggles certain groups during that time period might have had, and speaks to the journey of a veteran finding meaning and purpose in civilian life, after leaving the service of his beloved Corps.
