beaches in the history of warfare. The volcanic sands of Iwo Jima provided
a killing ground for the well entrenched and fight to the death Japanese
soldiers. Radioman Arvy Albin Geurin can be seen in the circle with Seaman
First Class Don Wood and Signalman Second Class Jack Kapp. Jack was
Arvy's best friend throughout the war. Notice how everyone in this picture
is taking cover.

"After I read this book, I realized how much history
I had absorbed and how the author took me right
there with him so I could 'see' history unfold. This
is more than about Iwo Jima. I am a school counselor.
This is the type of book that could, and should, be
used in teaching history of this era because its an
easy read that makes history alive, instead of dry
numbers and statistics " Beth O.
