Iwo Jima: An Amphibious Force Epic.



Someone should staple this manuscript to the front door of the head of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, give a copy to the Commandant and add this to the reading list.

Technology and tactics might change the way that we conduct amphibious assaults, but Iwo Jima should be talked about with pride and reverence.
