In this unf***ettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous

moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the

glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men

who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. Here is the true story behind the

immortal p***ograph that has come to symbolize the courage and

indomitable will of America.

In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo

Jima—and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar

fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to

the island's highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape

of hell itself, they raised a flag.

Now the son of one of the flagraisers has written a powerful

account of six very different young men who came together in a

moment that will live forever.

To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the p***ograph or the

war. But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered

closed boxes of letters and p***os. In Flags of Our Fathers,

James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his

father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men's paths to

Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic

battle for the Pacific's most crucial island—an island riddled with

Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders who would fight to

the last man.

But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is what happened

after the victory. The men in the p***o—three were killed during

the battle—were proclaimed heroes and flown home, to become

reluctant symbols. For two of them, the adulation was shattering.

Only James Bradley's father truly survived, displaying no copy of

the famous p***ograph in his home, telling his son only: "The real

heroes of Iwo Jima were the guys who didn't come back."

Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and

its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers. A

penetrating, epic look at a generation at war, this is history told

with keen insight, enormous honesty, and the passion of a son

paying homage to his father. It is the story of the difference

between truth and myth, the meaning of being a hero, and the

essence of the human experience of war.

The Battle of Iwo Jima, fought in the winter of 1945 on a rocky

island south of Japan, brought a ferocious slice of hell to earth:

in a month's time, more than 22,000 Japanese soldiers would die

defending a patch of ground a third the size of Manhattan, while

nearly 26,000 Americans fell taking it from them. The battle was a

turning point in the war in the Pacific, and it produced one of

World War II's enduring images: a p***ograph of six soldiers

raising an American flag on the flank of Mount Suribachi, the

island's commanding high point.
