The savage battle of Iwo Jima was a costly but essential victory that paved the way for the Allied invasion of Japan.This book vividly recreates 36 days in 1945 when Marines such as Sergeant Darren Cole and 19-year-old Private Douglas T. Jacobson displayed untold bravery, fighting seemingly impenetrable defenses until the American flag could be raised on Mount Suribachi and the Japanese defeated.
