New York Times bestseller, now adapted for young readers, Flags of Our Fathers is the unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history: the raising of the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima.
Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America. In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima–and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island’s highest peak. And there, they raised a flag. The son of one of the flag raisers has written a powerful account of six very different men who came together in the heroic battle.
PW called this volume, adapted from a bestseller for adults, a "memorable work," as it focuses on one of the most famous of war photographs: the image of six Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. The author, son of one of those Marines, investigates the lives (and deaths) of the six. Ages 12-up. (May) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
