He wrote more than fifty books. Joseph G. Dawson III's most recent book is Doniphan's Epic March: The 1st Missouri Volunteers in the Mexican War. He is a professor of history at Texas A&M University.
"Written accounts of war simply do not get any closer to the
actions and feelings of those [who] were there. Island Victory is a
highly recommended, 'must read' book."—The Midwest Book Review
"Island Victory presents Marshall at his best, unobtrusively
weaving together the testimonies of several hundred infantrymen of
the 7th Division during the battle for Kwajalein Atoll. . . . The
Kwajalein victors interviewed so painstakingly by Sam Marshall
provide a priceless candor and authenticity, the emotional
testimonies of young men still flushed with adrenalin, guilt, and
relief."—Joseph H. Alexander, Journal of Military History
