Description: |
It remains the U.S. Marine Corps' bloodiest battle. Fifty
years later, it is A.P. photographer Joe Rosenthal's
Pulitzer-winning photo of Marines raising the American flag on
Mt. Suribachi that keeps the memory of Iwo Jima alive.
Uncommon Valor, Common Virtue is a full account of the
battle itself and of Rosenthal's ten days on Iwo Jima as Marines
fought against a murderous Japanese onslaught. It recounts the
enduring legacy of "the photograph" - most recently in the
historic picture of three firemen raising the American flag at
the site of the World Trade Center, recalling Rosenthal's
timeless image of steely resolve in the face of tyranny.
