Overview
en's War with the U. S. Marines is biographical account of the charming and humorous World War II misadventures of Pfc. Ben Green--a low ranking but quick-witted individualist who battled the system in order to serve his country with honor and to stay alive so he could return home to his family. Facing a draft notice Ben, a resourceful nonconformist and Chicago radio producer with a wife and two small children, enlisted at age 35 with the understanding that he would serve as an officer in Marine Corps intelligence. When he learned too late he was too old for the job he'd been promised, he found himself training in the infantry with angry kids half his age for the infantry. Back home, his wife Alice struggled with making ends meet, managing the household, and fear of the unthinkable, as she waited in terror for word of Ben's assignment to the next island invasion. His four-year old son, deprived of his doting dad, suffered from the trauma of separation, while his infant daughter didn't know her father from the man on the cover of Time.
