Title: and 1/2 stars The story behind the photograph
Product review: James Bradley has written an excellent book about the lives of the six flagraisers in the most famous photograph of all time. I thought this was very well done, in most books you get a general overview of the story or the story as one person perceived it. In this book you find out the history of all six people from the day they were born until the present day. Some would be dead a day or two after the photo was taken.James Bradley's father was the figure in the center of the photograph - his father never wanted to talk about Iwo Jima & felt the real heroes were the ones who died on Iwo Jima. I learned a lot from reading this book. A movie based on the book & directed by Clint Eastwood is coming out later this summer. I think this story should transfer well to the big screen.
