  • "A comprehensive collection of vintage photographs, illustrations, maps, and text that chronicles the U.S. Marine invasion of Iwo Jima in February 1945."@en
  • "In this duotone reproduction, over 500 photos taken by Marine Corps combat photographers during the battle of Iwo Jima are featured, including over 300 never before published that were discovered in Marine Corps archives by author and military historian Eric Hammel."
  • "Even in as bloody and violent a war as Americans encountered in the Pacific, the brutality of Iwo Jima stands out for its unremitting savagery; it was arguably the hardest won and most memorable battle of the United States Marines in World War II in the Pacific. Remarkable photographs, many never before published, and text by acclaimed military historian Eric Hammel vividly recreate this iconic battle: the pummeling of inland targets, the strafing, and the rocket fire that accompanied the landing; the eerie silence that greeted the marines as they set foot on the island; and then, as the newly-landed marines regrouped on the shoreline, the horrors of all hell breaking loose. The fighting that followed34 of the bloodiest days of the Pacific Warcomes to harrowing life in this volume. Iwo is a uniquely fitting tribute to the valiant struggle that gave us our most enduring image of victory in World War II."
