A very inspirational look at the raising of the flag over Iwo Jima. The details that led to this historical event the event itself (with a suprisingly, somewhat unknown fact) and the results that this event had on the marines and one navy corpsman who raise the flag during this historical photograph. This book also contains many historical facts about WWII that are not taught in schools. A MUST READ for any individual that studies war and its affects on the people involved.
By the way, James Bradley is the son of one of the flag raisers.
