Brig. Gen. Francis Marion (1780-1782), who fought in the Revolutionary War in South Carolina, has long been a hero of Aiken. The US Marine Corps veteran of the War on Terrorism considers the Swamp Fox a role model from whom lessons on leadership and military tactics known today as information operations in irregular warfare can still be drawn. The book includes a timeline, maps of battles, a table summarizing Merion's significant engagements and battles, and a glossary. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
