This is one of the best non-fiction historical books I have ever read! It brings to life the Marines and the great balle of Iwo Jima. It is written like an epic novel, and it will soon be a movie!

This well written story of the horrendous battle of Iwo Jima and the raising of the flag on that tiny island during the final stages of WWII is a none too gentle reminder of the atrocities of war. The lives of the six men who put the Stars and Strips atop this hunk of rock were well researched and intricately woven into the story and aftermath of the battle by the son of the medic, James Bradley and his co-author, Ron Powers.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of war and/or the history of this great country.

If you can read this book without crying, consider therapy. Bradley reveals the history of the guys holding up that flag.
