U.S. Marines in Iwo Jima Book

This book is a detailed account of the hardship and sacrifice endured by the individual Marines and Sailors on Iwo Jima. It’s written by war correspondents who were there, which in my opinion adds to its credibility. What was telling for me was that after I finished the portion that details the flag raising on Suribachi, I struggled to finish the book. As I turned each page I could feel the anguish of the struggle that took place as they pushed north to secure the island, inch by inch, yard by yard. After reading this book I have a far greater appreciation than I already did for those who served on Iwo Jima. This book serves a testament to the indomitable will that existed between those who served on that hellacious island.
