DOWNLOAD EBOOKMuch has been written about the activities of the United States Marines in actual warfare - the highly creditable part they have played, and the efficiency with which that part of their mission has been performed. But there is still another part of their mission - perhaps the most important - which barely has been touched upon by any writer other than in a headline of the daily newspapers to the effect that, “THE MARINES HAVE LANDED, AND HAVE THE SITUATION WELL IN HAND.” Little does the average American citizen realize that oft repeated statement portends, and its real significance in relation to the protection of nationals of the United States residing in foreign lands. The guarding of these interests, together with the rendering of able assistance to their Country's diplomatic representatives in establishing and maintaining foreign policies, have long been their most important duty. "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli” tells not half the story. In every quarter of the Globe, under every conceivable adverse condition, the United States Marines have fought side by side with the Navy and at times with the Army, foreign soldiers, marines and soldiers, but more often alone, protecting American lives and interests - and that, without causing international complications. Time after time they have been called upon to quell revolutions, whether in an incipient or advanced stage, to secure redress for crimes committed upon United States citizens, to resent insults to the flag, to render assistance in times of great disaster, and even to put down mutinies aboard foreign men-of-war at the earnest solicitation of the vessel's commander. No matter what the task might be, the Marines have ever emerged with flying colors, worthy of the highest commendation. These angles of the Marines' well rounded mission and their relations with foreign countries in time of peace thus far have not been compiled. In the pages that follow the author has undertaken to set forth an accurate account of the Landings in foreign lands. The information upon which this history is based has been secured from official records exclusively, and the useless expatiation of unnecessary details, which might tend to obscure or cloud the facts, have been avoided. To the memory of those Marines who have glorified their motto - SEMPER FIDELIS - this work is dedicated.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEllsworth's 180 Landings, to use its popular title, has not been superseded by a more detailed or comprehensive coverage since its original publication forty years ago. It concerns itself with four basic causes for landings: (1) political intervention, (2) punitive actions, (3) protection of diplomatic mission, nationals, and their property, and (4) humanitarian. Many of these landings were solely Marine Corps affairs, a number were joint with Navy personnel. International cooperation with one or more foreign powers characterize some of these. The effect of landing Marines on international law has long been a matter of legal speculation. The virtual abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine, the dropping of the Piatt Amendment, the elimination of the "Open Door" policy in China, and the development of international organizations such as the Organization of American States and the United Nations have created a new climate in international relations. As a result, political interventions and punitive actions no longer occur as frequently as in the Corps' early days. Landings for humanitarian reasons are still carried out and are non-controversial in the international community. Some of the topics and subjects covered in this important history: Major Lejeune, Emperor Menelik, Commodore Perry, Commander Fitzroy, Boxer Rebellion, Cuba, Guantanamo Bay, Pirates and Piracy, Seal Poaching, Tartars, "Sword Rock" Hoo, Panama, Shanghai, Jose Santos Zelaya, Commodore David Porter, Colonel Pendleton, Commander Belknap, USS Panther, Sandino, USS Monocacy, USS Philadelphia, Tripoli, Mamelukes, Lieutenant O'Bannon.
