Content descriptions
Bibliography, etc. Note: | Includes bibliographical references (p. [364]-365) and index. |
Summary, etc.: | Brings readers into the lives of the six young men--boys, really--who marched up the side of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima and raised a flag. That moment, captured for all time in an iconic photograph, is only a part of their stories; author Bradley reveals what each man's life was before, and after, that moment. Teenagers when the war struck, each soldier's odyssey is recounted, and the whole is a tribute to the forces that forge heroes. |
