Gunny G's Old Salt Marines Tavern Weblog: Secret Execution USMC?

Gunny G's Old Salt Marines Tavern Weblog: Secret Execution USMC?:

"The following information is provided in response to inquiries and requests for information received.
I first learned of the book, 'The Marines' Secret Execution,' from the author several months ago. At that time I sent out the author's provided pre-publication information (URL) to several individuals for purposes of information and discussion. Since then there has been both discussion and inquiries from Marines, and others, regarding the book. The book deals with the Marine Raiders, Guadalcanal, and the alleged execution of two Marines there in 1942.
In some cases, the responses were of a negative nature from those who disagree with the author's claim that an execution of two Marines had taken place by the Marine Corps, on Guadalcanal, in 1942. Others suggested that the author was not a Marine at all as he claimed, but then others stated that they had ascertained, through official records, that he indeed had served in the Corps.
Conversely, others inquired, expressing interest, as to how to contact Mr. Miller for more information, or how his book could be obtained.
My own interest was tweaked by these events, and I attempted to research this subject as best I could. I am presently in the process of reading the book at the present time.
I have also exchanged e-mail with the author"
