"An insightful, readable account of the bloodiest battle of World War II." -Reviewer

A gripping story of amazing heroism and sacrifice by the brave men on Iwo Jima.

The invasion of Iwo Jima was a major Pacific Campaign offensive in World War II. The Marine invasion, known as "Operation Detachment," was charged with the mission of capturing airfields on the island for use by P-51 fighters that weren't able to reach their main bases at Guam and Saipan.

This battle was marked by some of the fiercest fighting of the war. Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with vast bunkers, hidden artillery, and eleven miles of tunnels. The battle was the first US attack on the Japanese Home Islands and the Imperial soldiers defended their positions to the bitter end.

This narrative recounts the story of Iwo Jima in vivid, gritty detail. Explore the fascinating feats of strategy, planning, and bravery, handing the Allies what would eventually become a victory over the Pacific Theater and an end to Imperialist Japanese expansion.
