Beskrivning
A definitive account of the battle of Iwo Jima, from its origins to its hard-fought conclusion.
One of the decisive battles of the Second World War in the Pacific, Iwo Jima was described by Lieutenant-General Holland Smith, Commander Fleet Marine Forces Pacific, as ''The most savage and most costly battle in the history of the Marine Corps'' - a titanic struggle that eclipsed all that had gone before.
Situated halfway along the B-29 Superfortress route to the Japanese mainland, the island was of major strategic importance to the US Air Force, but also to the Japanese, 20,000 of whom were deeply entrenched in the island.
