Unsung heroes rise from the ashes of blood and despair which was prevalent on the little island of Iwo Jima. During an intense month of bloody battles to secure it, because of its strategic location and airstrips, many brave and weary marines died as a result of the dug-in Japanese warriors who fought almost to the last man. Joyce Faulkner's "In the Shadow of Suribachi," gives us personal insight to the men who rose to the occasion and fought and died to relieve control of the island from our enemy. Her insight is strong, her characters are so individuality human they reach parts of your soul which is the hardest to reach. These men, at this time, in this place, bled and died for love of country, their God and family. A stunning, well-written book taken from the pages of our blood-spattered past. A must read for anyone interested in the sacrifices made in order that America could remain free.… (plus d'informations)
