Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley 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 islands highest peak, and after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag raisers has written a powerful account of six very different men who came together in a moment that will live forever.
