This is the official Marine account of the war on the island. Book was as new! DVD had never been out of the cover.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Super Photos and informationBy Raphael E. KearnsI have read nearly everything written about this epic U.S. Marine Corps battle. My father was a member of the 4th Marine Division and survived to come home as one of "The Greatest Generation". I also spent a career in the US Navy first as a corpsman with the 1st Marine Division in Viet Nam and then as a member of the Navy Nurse Corps. This book is another "must have" for anyone interested in the history of WW II in the Pacific. We all have seen the flag raising photo that became symbolic of the US in WW II but this book tells us much more about it and also tells much more about this battle. As we get farther away from 1945 and those brave warriors pass from this earth it is of extreme importance that we have documentation to remind us of the sacrifices made on those small islands in the Pacific ocean. If you are interested in the Pacific Theatre I highly recommend this book as an addition to your library.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
