Battle Wounds of Iwo Jima - Paperback

by Thomas M. Brown (Author)

The battle for the miniscule island of Iwo Jima produced some of the most savage fighting of World War II. The predicted three-day assault lasted ten times as long. United States Marine assault forces fought fiercely and died in heartbreaking numbers.
Intelligence units never perceived the fantastic network of twenty-five miles of tunnels connecting command centers, block houses, and bunkers concealing Japanese defenders.
Dr. Thomas M. Brown was there attending wounded. His memoirs include many of his recollections as well as those of his fellow warriors.
Told from the viewpoint of the medics, Battle Wounds of Iwo Jima offers a compelling look at the hellish experiences of such a battle.
