Description

The Marine Who Refused To Die:


A Scandal That Shook The Pentagon.



This gripping account follows the journey of a young marine unjustly tried and convicted by General Court Martial only to later awarded full honorable discharge for combat distinction and medical retirement for wounds sustained in combat. After enduring two years in Marine Prison, including ten months isolated inc complete solitary confinement with little fresh air or sunlight, he fought back against the cover-up reaching The Pentagon and the controversial Bush Administration during the height of The Iraq War.


With the support of his extraordinary Marine Platoon Commander, a brave and courageous Naval Officer coming forward steadfastly as whistleblowers of the gross injustice, and his family, a Marine Lance Corporal exposed a scandal that compromised The Department of The Navy and United States Marine Corps. Internal Department of Defense documents reveal a campaign of dishonor, under the guise of national security, how far those in power went to protect their interests, in light of the facts, at the expense of loyalty, honor and tradition. This Marine was almost never told his story if not for miracle after miracle.

Critical Reviews

"Phillips was a great young Marine. He followed all orders and commands. He was always there to help anyone, He was a Marine of Marines."


-Marine Staff Sergeant Alfred Rivers




"He wanted to get back to the platoon. It's my personal belief that he was doing anything he could to get back in the fight and support his boys. He expressed to me, 'I've got got to stay with this platoon. This is my family. I don't want to go anywhere. This is what I came here for. I've got to do my job, my duty.' I certainly believe that, frankly and sincerely. That's as real as it gets."


-Marine Lieutenant Cameron Browne staring down Marine Prosecutor at Court Martial





"I have no concerns that Private Phillips is a threat to anyone or himself, but I am concerned about the emotional impact of continued incarceration. I suspect that prolonged incarceration will also lead to a more protracted and, complicated recovery."


-Navy Lt Commander Sam Stephens to Associated Press Reporter
