On the night of April 8, 1956, Marine drill instructor Matthew McKeon led Platoon 71 through Parris Island, resulting in a tragic incident where six recruits drowned due to unexpected currents in Ribbon Creek. This event sparked a sensational national media frenzy and led to McKeon's court-martial, jeopardizing the future of the US Marine Corps. In this definitive account, former Marine and trial lawyer John C. Stevens III delves into the details of that fateful night and the ensuing courtroom drama, combining personal interviews and legal insights to portray the complexities of both the tragedy and its key figures.
