SHADOW of SURIBACHI Raising the Flags on Iwo Jima - 1st Edition

Description: SHADOW OF SURIBACHI Raising the Flags on Iwo Jima By Parker Bishop Albee Jr & Keller Cushing Freeman VERY GOOD+ 1st Edition - Ex Libris - Hardcover/Dustjacket On February 23, 1945, an Associated Press photographer captured the image of six brave men raising the American flag at the windy peak of Mount Suribachi on the coveted island of Iwo Jima. Little did the photographer or the men in the photograph know that they were immortalizing themselves as part of a national icon. This inspiring image has become tainted by embellished stories, distorted realities, and nagging questions about the flag-raisings. At last the myths of fifty years are dispelled in Shadow of Suribachi, the only comprehensive, accurate account of the flag-raisings on Iwo Jima. The men who conquered the mountain tell their story through letters, interviews, and poignant recollections. For the first time in decades, Joe Rosenthal, the Associated Press photographer who took the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, offers a detailed account of his experiences on the island. Rare photos by other photographers, some previously unacknowledged, lend further credibility to this study of an event that became part of a classic World War II battle. * * * * * * * SELLER'S NOTE: All images provided here are of the actual book being offered.
