Download The Last Lieutenant: A Foxhole View of the Epic Battle for Iwo Jima AudioBook Free
Iwo Jima: two words that will forever bring to mind the 36 times of continual, chaotic battle in which the U.S. Marines fought the entrenched Japanese for each inch of the tiny volcanic island. When it was over, more than 26 thousand People in america were wiped out or wounded, in support of slightly more than 2 hundred Japanese defenders survived. Twenty-seven Medals of Honor were given - many posthumously. Jim Craig was a platoon commander with the Marines on Iwo Jima. This is his tale, as informed to his nephew John C. Shively. In a particularly vivid and enjoyable account of some of the most intense fighting with each other of the Pacific Warfare, the immediacy of the storyplot is heightened by the detail that Shively's research has put into Craig's recollections. The result will pull you onto the beach, in to the foxhole, and over Support Suribachi with those who resided, fought, and died on Iwo Jima.
