Larry Smith
Best-selling oral historian Larry Smith dug deep for exclusive stories from Iwo Jima veterans, including the last surviving flag raiser on Mount Suribachi, a Navajo "code talker", a retired general, two Medal of Honor recipients, B-29 flyers, and other die-hard Marines who secured the island.
Along the way, Smith investigates the controversy surrounding the famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal and presents the groundbreaking story of Japanese General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, rumored to have committed suicide rather than submit to capture.
Iwo Jima is an unprecedented look at this pivotal battle and an inspiring study in courage, perseverance, and humanity.

Good story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
However, the fact that the narrator attempted to use different accents, mannerisms and tones (even trying to imitate a couple of women) was absurd and greatly took away from the books story.
Either read the story in one tone, or play the veterans accounts (if they were recorded). But please do not try to imitate a Texas accent, and
then a Boston/Chicago, etc.
Great book, less than desirable narration
