Review of Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) by Dominic F — 18 Jul 2014
From the viewpoint of the Japanese soldiers fighting to keep Iwo Jima from American takeover, it was total despair. The land was bleak and sterile, the Japanese forces knew they were outnumbered, and as the supplies dwindled, so did their morale, and they had no motivation to defend the island other than patriotism and spiritual honor.
Only drawback was that I couldn't figure out during my scant studies of World War II whether the Iwo Jima battle took full effort from America, or whether the mission was a pushover.
