Book Synopsis
A marine's account of the human aspects of combat.

Trade Review
Although compact and brief, the book eloquently describes the horrors of the World War II battle for Iwo Jima... from such a nightmare Caruso manages to build a significant literary memorial, a clear and lasting picture of a handful of fighting Marines. - Norman N. Brown, Associated Press ""A tale of individual struggles as fresh and crisp as if the battles occurred yesterday... Caruso describes the island's terrain of hot, dark volcanic ash so soft and fine that foxholes could be dug by hand. He tells of the hidden enemy gun emplacements that brought fire to every inch of the island and the terrible price paid in casualties to find and then destroy them. Gripping... without pretense or embellishment."" - Leatherneck
