Two Flags Over Iwo Jima by Eric Hammel
The full story of the lead up to and aftermath of the iconic raising of the American flag by the 28th Marine Regiment on Iwo Jima in 1945, using recent investigations to show what really happened.
This is a great book that was genuinely interestingIt’s not just a book about the Marines on Iwo Jima (although it’s very good for that) but a fascinating description of how ‘truth’ can be established (accidentally in this case) and the efforts that are needed to correct this. * Army Rumour Service 26/02/2019 *
