Flags of our fathers (abridged)

On February 19, 1945, the largest Marine force ever sent into battle launched an assult on Iwo Jima. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire six men battled to the island's highest peak, after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. This is an account of six very different men who came together in a moment that will live forever.

  • "Recounts the story of the six young marines who raised the flag at Iwo Jima during fierce combat on the obscure Japanese-hled island in 1945.

  • "In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima--and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island's highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag-raisers has written a powerful account of six very different men who came together in a moment that will live forever. To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of his Company. Following these men's paths to Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial island."@en
