Description
A unique perspective on one of the most pivotal battles of World War II is offered in this collection of firsthand accounts from Japanese soldiers, sailors, and pilots who fought on Iwo Jima. The stories of those who survived the battle, some as Prisoners-of-War, provide a rare insight into the experiences of the enemy during this pivotal conflict. The phrase "Uncommon valor was a common virtue" is aptly reflected in the accounts of those who fought bravely on the island.
