MajGen Melvin L. Krulewitch USMC (Ret)

VG/VG. First Edition. Photographs, index, 257 pages. The memoirs of a Marine who fought at Belleau Wood (where he was wounded), Kwajalein, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and the Third Winter Campaign in Korea. When not on the battle front, he served as Boxing Commissioner for the State of New York (where he refused to license Sonny Liston and refused to remove Cassius Clay’s title when he changed his religion), locked horns with the underworld in his efforts to clean up boxing and, as a judge, tried the longest case in New York history.
