The Heart of Hell by Mitch Weiss
On February 17, Landing Craft Infantry 449 was among a dozen gunboats helping to prepare the area for their invasion two days later. From the towering slopes of Mount Suribachi, Japanese forces opened fire, forcing the U.S. commanders to recalculate battlefield plans. They shelled and bombed the newly discovered enemy positions. It was a move that saved countless lives two days later, when tens of thousands of Marines stormed the beach at the Battle of Iwo Jima. Mitch Weiss' The Heart of Hell is the untold story of the crew of Landing Craft Infantry 449.Mitch Weiss, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist for the Associated Press, has written about everything from the Vietnam War to crooked real estate appraisers to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill tragedy. The Yankee Comandante, Hunting Che, No Way Out, and Tiger Force are among his coauthored works.
