About This Item
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2007. New book, 211 pages. This book reveals the true story of the Battle of Iwo Jima, the subject of two films directed by Clint Eastwood. Tellinf the story from the Japanese point of view, at the heart of this story is the maverick general Tadamichi Kuriyabashi, devoted family man and brilliant battlefield commander. As Clint Eastwood comments, 'General Kuribayashi was a unique guy. He liked America. He thought it was a mistake to go to war'. Unlike most Japanese officers, he had traveled abroad, spent time in America, and was under no illusions as to the ultimate end. Kumiko Kakehashi's heart-rending account is based on the letters written home by the doomed soldiers on the island, mostly family men, conscripted late in the war.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
