Summary

The story of the Battle of Iwo Jima is told through the lives of six young men pictured in the famous news photo of the raising of the American flag on Mt. Suribachi. Hailing from different parts of the United States, these young men can be seen as representative of the generation that grew up in the '30s and went off to fight in the '40s.

Quotes from the Critics

"The 36-day battle for Iwo Jima has seldom been chronicled in such detail." - New York Times Book Review

"[O]ne of the most instructive and moving books on war and its aftermath that we are likely to see, in part because it is instructive and moving in unexpected ways." - New York Times
