À propos de cet audio
The U.S. Marines had a soldier who fought with Chinese communists before WWII — and then created America’s first Special Forces.
In this episode of Why Wars Happened, Stephen Platt uncovers the forgotten story of Evans Carlson, the man who defied military tradition, clashed with generals, and built the Marine Raiders. His ideas shaped modern warfare, but the military wanted him erased.
