Buerlein of the United States  <em>Knives of War</em> presents detailed line drawings, rare historical photos, and fascinating facts and anecdotes about the edged weapons used by both sides during World Wars I and II.</p> <p>A number of World War II veterans who used these weapons on (or behind) the front lines in elite units enthusiastically shared inside information with the authors, and it is presented here for the first time. Of particular interest is some previously unknown information about the U.S. Marine Raider Gung Ho Knife and the Gerber Mark II Combat Knife, as well as a wealth of details about the most famous fighting knife of all, the Fairbairn-Sykes. Adding interest to this chapter are detailed biographies of Captains W. E. Fairbairn and E. A. Sykes, including their early years with the Shanghai Municipal Police, their critical work during World War II for the Allies, and the inspiration for their classic Fighting knife.</p> <p>Among the other edged weapons examined in this book are big knives; knuckle knives; German trench knives; folding and gravity military knives; bayonet and sword conversions; trench clubs; and other miscellaneous knives of war.</p> <p></p> <table border="0" cellspacing="7"> <tr> <td> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit6" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" /> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="1776@historicalassociates.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Knives of War" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="mb3rb" /> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="22.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2" /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.historicalassociates.com/" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" /> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US" /> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF" /> </form> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="1776@historicalassociates.com" /> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/view_cart_02.gif" border="0" name="submit7" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" /> <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1" /> </form> </td> <td valign="top"><b>$22.00</b><br /> + $6 packaging and shipping</td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <hr> </center> <p> <strong>U.S. MARINE RAIDER MUSEUM - INFORMATION</strong><br /> <hr> <table border="0"> <tr> <td width="501"> <div align="center"> <img src="raiderhall.gif" alt="" height="181" width="360" border="0" /> <p><b>Marine Raider Museum  Raider Hall  Quantico MCB</b></p> </div> <p>Here the story is seen and told of the famous World War II Marine Raiders, the first and most famous commando-type outfit ever formed by the U.S. Marine Corps. The Raiders provided fast, hard-hitting assault units designed to inflict surprise strikes. They are the only U.S. military unit in American history authorized to use the Death's-Head Skull as their official symbol. Visitors will see why. Large glass display cases, and a dozen display boards tell the gallant Raider story. You'll see on exhibit the first Japanese flag captured during the war (Lt. Col. Evans F. Carlson's Raiders brought it back from the famous Makin Island Raid of 1942). The Museum features numerous photos of the Raiders in training, in camp and in combat. Also displayed are firearms, tools, equipment, uniforms (Raiders were the first to wear camouflage uniforms in World War II) and many fascinating implements of war. Visitors will also see captured Japanese combat gear. The evolution, training and combat success of this special unit, depicted here, chronicles the Raider story and inspires all who see it.</p> <div align="center"> <p><img src="carlson.gif" alt="" height="132" width="114" border="0" /> <img src="HPIM0252.gif" alt="" height="132" width="181" border="0" /> <img src="HPIM0254.gif" alt="" height="132" width="179" border="0" /></p> <p> <img src="HPIM0260.gif" alt="" height="159" width="217" border="0" /> <img src="HPIM0262.gif" alt="" height="160" width="163" border="0" /></p> </div> <p>Museum Co-Founders:<br /> R.
