Title: Flags of our Fathers
Product review: I HAVE READ A LOT OF BOOKS ABOUT WW11 AND KOREA. NONE OF THEM HAVE EVERCOME CLOSE TO DESCRIBING THE TERROR THAT I REMEMBER FEELING FROM CONSTANT MORTAR AND ARTILLERY SHELLING THAT I RECALL FROM MY EXPERIENCES IN KOREA. I WAS A PFC WITH FOX CO 2ND BATTALION, IST MARINES DURING 1952. I KNOW WHAT THE MARINES ON IWO JIMA WENT THRU WAS MUCH WORST THAN MY OWN EXPERIENCES. THE AUTHOR WAS ABLE TO MAKE ME RELIVE SOME OF MY MOMENTS OF TERROR.FOR THAT I THANK HIM, I THINK. ONCE I STARTED READING I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. THE LIVES OF THOSE 6 MEN, PRIOR, DURING, AND AFTER THE FLAG RAISING WAS SPELLBINDING I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED COMBAT OR TO ANYONE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE TERROR WE ALL FELT AT TIMES.
