Another quality book by Hoyt. This book gives a pretty good overview of the Iwo Jima campaign, with the usual (Hoyt-like)sprinkling of first-hand accounts. Iwo was a terrible place. The Japanese were dug in and fought to the last man. The U.S. had close to 30,000 casualties on Iwo. Anyone who is interested in WW2 should read this book.
