This book tells the story of the Spanish Marine Infantry from its origins in the 16th century to the 21st century. The armies and navies of the Hispanic Monarchy were pioneers in the formation of a professional force specialized in combat on board their ships. From the sea thirds, through the Napoleonic wars, the war of independence, the Carlist wars, the struggle for the possession of Cuba and the Philippines, the bloody conflicts in Morocco during the first third of the 20th century or the battlefields of the Civil War, the Spanish Marine Infantry managed to survive the vicissitudes of history as a body of proven efficiency and recognized prestige. Currently, the Spanish Marine Infantry constitutes an internationally respected force, not only as an elite unit within the branch of special and amphibious forces around the world, but also for its outstanding participation in all the missions in which, as a peace force, it has intervened and continues to intervene today.
