Title: A Most Moving Book
Product review: Flags of Our Fathers is the most moving book I have ever read. The story of the six men who raised the flag on Iwo Jima by a son of one them is a great book about those guys who captured Iwo Jima after a 35-day battle which cost the lives of 6,800 Americans including three of the flag raisers. The story tells how The Photograph of the raising affected the lives of the three survivors. The author did not know his father had won the Navy Cross until after his death in 1994. These guys fought that battle and didn't say much about it afterwards. The battle scenes are graphic and make Spielberg's Private Ryan look like a cup of tea. How young guys did what they did in that battle is a mystery to me. It would be difficult to get our young to do the same thing today. I will never view the Marine Memorial in Arlington in quite the same way again. We owe a lot to those Marines.
