A dramatic photo history of the battle of Iwo Jima and the iconic picture that captured America-DVD included! On February 23; 1945; as the battle for the Japanese island stronghold of Iwo Jima raged below; Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthals camera captured six troops raising the Stars and Stripes on Mt. Suribachi. That photograph would go on to symbolize the Marines valor and Americas determination to win World War II. This is the story of the ten days Rosenthal spent on Iwo Jima-and how his Pulitzer-winning picture came to be. Containing over 120 combat photographs- including shots of the flag-raising by other photographers-quotes from survivors; newspapers and magazines; battle reports and Medal of Honor citations; here is a grunts eye view of the bloodiest battle in U.S. Marine Corps history. It also recounts "the photographs" enduring legacy in popular culture; and reveals the fates of the flag raisers- men who became a fixture in their countrys history.
