USMC Official History?

[Jasper]

I got some information from someone who says words to the effect " ... official USMC history credits ... [name] ... with ...[something or other]"

I've looked at the official USMC site, and done a little poking around but can't find zip about it.

Is there is an official USMC history database / library / volume ?? If so how can a civialian get access to it ?? Or more to the point - how can I verify that the honorable and helpful person that told me this fact didn't make an honest mistake?

Check this very complete Marine Corps Bibliography (http://www.usmc.mil/historical.nsf/96daf5cb37fcafc6852565c60058346e/5cb3ac5e25a422668525663c00557d66?OpenDocument) There are a number of books and documents listed as "official".

Is "patheti-sad" a word?

There is an official history of the USMC in WWII. It's something like the US Army's official history. Library is probably the best place to look.
