Synopsis: “Splendid...I consider Iwo Jima the best book on a campaign and on a fighting force, in this case the Marines, since Alan Moorhead’s work on El Alamein...To those who know the face of battle, Iwo Jima reinforces the memory of the dull, stupid horror they know war to be. For those who do not, the book is recommended reading if for no other reason than that it shows what Americans are capable of in battle.” Drew Middleton, The New York Times.
