"[This book] reveals the true story of the battle of Iwo Jima, a guesome and terrifying battle of the Pacific War. The Japanese were only expected to hold onto Iwo Jima for five days. In the end, they held it for 36. At the heart of this story is the maverick general Tadamichi Kuribayashi, devoted family man, brilliant leader and the first man on the island to know they were all going to die. His unorthodox methods made this the fiercest battle the US Marines ever faced."--Back cover.
