Iwo Jima is the powerful and deeply moving record of how our marines conquered one of the most strongly fortified bases in the world, the gateway to Japan itself. Official U. S. Marine Corps and Coast Guard photographs give stirring details on the beachhead landings, the taking of Mt. Suribachi and the airfield. Captain Raymond Henri has written an eyewitness account filled with stories of individual heroism. In 26 days 4300 Americans lost their lives on Iwo Jima, but the Japanese garrison of 23,000 was wiped out. In his foreword Secretary of the Navy Forrestal calls this battle "the first step in a sequence of doom for the Japanese homeland".
