Description
An account of the 1945 battle documents the significant losses on both sides, the controversy surrounding the famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal, and the alleged suicide of Japanese general Tadamichi Juribayashi, in an illustrated account that draws on the testimonies of such contributors as the last surviving Mount Suribachi flag raiser, a Navajo code talker, and two Medal of Honor recipients.
