Title: Great Read
Product review: This book is so readable and interesting on several different fronts. The book covers the lives (before, during and, for the lucky, after WWII) of the 6 flagraisers on Iwo Jima - so there are 6 very interesting people that you will get to know. The book is refreshingly inspirational - for those of us who don't want to read one more sad, self-pitying personal story from today's authors - this is an account of men enduring extraordinary hardship for a larger cause. Third, the book was written by the son of an Iwo Jima survivor who rarely disclosed any information about that part of his past - so there's a bit of mystery regarding his silence added to the other elements of the story. If you read one book this year - this is the one!
