Iwo Jima was the United States Marine Corps' toughest ever battle
and a turning point in the Pacific War. In February 1945, three
Marine Divisions stormed the island's shores in what was supposed
to be a ten-day battle, but they had reckoned without General
Tadamichi Kuribayashi, the enemy commander. 'Do not plan for my
return, ' wrote Kuribayashi in one of his many letters to his wife,
Yoshii. He knew that he and his garrison could not defeat the
Marines, but he was determined to exact a fearful toll in American
casualties. In the 36-day battle for Iwo Jima, which eclipsed all
that had gone before, the Marines lost nearly 6,000 men and the
Japanese garrison was virtually wiped out.
