The book that inspired Clint Eastwood’s film on the taking of Iwo Jima - this tells the story of the struggle from the US and the Japanese points of view.

Iwo Jima is an iconic name in American history - the island that was the scene of one of the fierrcest struggles of the Pacific War. The two stories in this book tell the story from both sides of the lines. Flags Of Our Fathers is the inspiring saga of the US marines who raised the Stars and stripes over the embattled island in one of the war’s most enduring images, while Letters from Iwo Jima sees events from the Japanese point of view as seen by General Kuriyabashi, devoted family man, brillliant leader and the first man on the island to know that his garrison is doomed to die. Immortalised on screen by Clint Eastwood, this is the book behind the movie.
