Trade paperback. good. pocket paperbk, 562, wraps, illus., maps, notes, bibliography, index, creasing to a few pages, small tears in margin of pp. 305-308. James Bradley (born May 4, 1954) is an American author from Antigo, Wisconsin, specializing in historical nonfiction chronicling the Pacific theater of World War II. Drawing from letters and photographs of John Bradley (one of the flag raisers of Iwo Jima), his son has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial island--an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22, 000 fanatic defenders. His father, John Bradley, was long thought to be one of the six men who was in the photograph raising the American flag on Mt. Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. That photograph has gone on to be one of the most duplicated and reproduced photos ever taken. In June 2016, the Marine Corps announced that John Bradley had been involved in the raising of a smaller flag two hours earlier, and was on the mountaintop during the second flag raising. This book is the Bantam movie tie-in mass market edition. Drawing from letters and photographs of John Bradley, his son has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial island--an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders. Flags of Our Fathers is about the six United States Marines who would eventually be made famous by Joe Rosenthal's lauded photograph of the flag raising at Iwo Jima. The flag raisers were Harold Schultz, Rene Gagnon, Ira Hayes, Mike Strank, Harlon Block, and Franklin Sousley; the latter three men died later in the battle. Strank was a Sergeant who refused promotions during the battle in order to "Bring his boys back to their mothers." Block was a corporal who reported to Strank, and the rest were privates in the Marines, except for John Bradley, a Navy Corpsman who administered first aid to Easy Company of 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division, the company to which all the flag raisers were assigned., Bantam Books, 2006, 2.5<

Abrams, Inc., 1995, 0, Bantam, 2006. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. The Battle of Iwo Jima, fought in the winter of 1945 on a rocky island sout h of Japan, brought a ferocious slice of hell to earth: in a month's time, more than 22,000 Japanese soldiers would die defending a patch of ground a third the size of Manhattan, while nearly 26,000 Americans fell taking it f rom them. The battle was a turning point in the war in the Pacific, and it produced one of World War II's enduring images: a photograph of six soldier s raising an American flag on the flank of Mount Suribachi, the island's co mmanding high point. One of those young Americans was John Bradley, a Navy corpsman who a few da ys before had braved enemy mortar and machine-gun fire to administer first aid to a wounded Marine and then drag him to safety. For this act of herois m Bradley would receive the Navy Cross, an award second only to the Medal o f Honor. Bradley, who died in 1994, never mentioned his feat to his family. Only after his death did Bradley's son James begin to piece together the facts of his father's heroism, which was but one of countless acts of sacrifice made by the young men who fought at Iwo Jima. Flags of Our Fathers recounts the sometimes tragic life stories of the six men who raised the flag that February day--one an Arizona Indian who would die following an alcohol-soaked brawl, another a Kentucky hillbilly, still another a Pennsylvania steel-mill worker--and who became reluctant heroes in the bargain. A strongly felt and well-written entry in a spate of recent books., Bantam, 2006, 3<
