This is not another 'me too' book about Iwo. I have read many and most say about the same..except for perspective. Just one example is the heat from the volcanic sands itself. The author has produced another  book that stands at the forefront of Marine battle tomes. I would recommend all books by this author...especially if you want to follow the deployments of Marine paratroops during the Pacific campaign. My father  fought in many of these engagments and his war dairy and pictures were enhanced by the descriptions in this book. I would recommend this book to any Marine..
