<p>After graduating from the University of Chicago, Nathan joined the United States Marine Corps, and when he shipped out to Basic Training, he brought note-taking gear. In the first part of Becoming a U.S. Marine: Adapting Basic Training to the 21st Century, Nathan explores recent developments in warfare and combat, the role of the Marine Corps in the modern world, domestic policy challenges, and most importantly, suggested improvements to Basic Training. These recommendations reverberate far beyond the Marine Corps and the U.S. Military; for many lessons drawn from the chaos of the modern battlefield are applicable wherever people seek to achieve a mission in a perilous and fast-paced environment. In the second part of Becoming a U.S. Marine: Adapting Basic Training to the 21st Century, Nathan provides a first-hand account of the notorious Basic Training program, complete with stories and links to videos to generate an immersive experience. This book is therefore not only intended for readers interested in domestic and foreign policy, military tactics and training, but also for those looking to understand or relive their time in Boot Camp.</p>
