Summary of Bloody Battle for Suribachi (""Now Hear This"" Audiobook Series)
This timeless narrative chronicles the savage struggle to wrest Mount Suribachi from the Japanese during the long assault on Iwo Jima in 1945. Suribachi was the first piece of Japanese-owned territory to be captured by American forces in World War II. A member of the 3rd platoon of Company E, 2d Battalion, 28th Marines--the platoon that planted the first American flag at the volcano's summit--the author describes their tortuous undertaking as only a participant could. Richard Wheeler's wise observations on the mindset of the combatants have earned this story status as a war classic. This dramatic reading pays tribute to the men who raised the flag on the bloody battleground--one of the great moments of the war--and to those nine hundred Marines who gave their lives to make it possible.General Books
