“The best battle book I ever read…These stories, chronicling the time the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima enlisted, their training, and the landing, and subsequent struggle, fill me with awe.”
Stephen E. Ambrose, New York Times bestselling author of The Wild Blue
Winner of Margaret A. Edwards Award (Alex Awards), 2001
Now abridged for young people, Flags of Our Fathers is the unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history: the raising of the U. S. flag at Iwo Jima. Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America.
In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima–and into history. The son of one of the flag raisers has written a powerful account of six very different men who came together in the heroic battle for the Pacific’s most crucial island.
