Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades they battled to the island's highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag-raisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever. To his family John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. In Flags of Our Fathers James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men's paths to Iwo Jima James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial island - an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man. Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers.

A near fine copy in a near fine jacket. 2003 Hard Cover. 398 pp. "Over the remote Pacific island of Chichi Jima nine American flyers-Navy and Marine pilots sent to bomb Japanese communications towers there-were shot down. One of those nine was miraculously rescued by a U.S. Navy submarine. The others were captured by Japanese soldiers on Chichi Jima and held prisoner. Then they disappeared. When the war was over the American government along with the Japanese covered up everything that had happened on Chichi Jima. The records of a top-secret military tribunal were sealed the lives of the eight Flyboys were erased and the parents brothers sisters and sweethearts they left behind were left to wonder. Flyboys reveals for the first time ever the extraordinary story of those men. Bradley's quest for the truth took him from dusty attics in American small towns to untapped government archives containing classified documents to the heart of Japan and finally to Chichi Jima itself. What he discovered was a mystery that dated back far before World War II-back 150 years to America's westward expansion and Japan's first confrontation with the western world. Bradley brings into vivid focus these brave young men who went to war for their country and through their lives he also tells the larger story of two nations in a hellish war. With no easy moralizing Bradley presents history in all its savage complexity including the Japanese warrior mentality that fostered inhuman brutality and the U.S. military strategy that justified attacks on millions of civilians. And after almost sixty years of mystery Bradley finally reveals the fate of the eight American Flyboys all of whom would ultimately face a moment and a decision that few of us can even imagine. Flyboys is a story of war and horror but also of friendship and honor. It is about how we die and how we live-including the tale of the Flyboy who escaped capture a young Navy pilot named George H. W. Bush who would one day become president of the United States. A masterpiece of historical narrative Flyboys will change forever our understanding of the Pacific war and the very things we fight for. Little, Brown and Company hardcover books
