The story of one of the bloodiest battles in history, resulting in the raising of the American flag on Mt. Suribachi, is documented with a personal touch; the author himself was a member of that company. It is a searing and unique account of that battle, told from the perspective of both the gallant U.S. Marines who invaded the island and the brave Japanese soldiers who defended it.
Richard Wheeler was a Marine veteran of the Pacific campaign and the author of Iwo and The Bloody Battle for Suribachi among other military history books. He called Pine Grove, PA his home before his death.
