Product Information

Late in the Pacific War, as Americans were fighting their way to the home islands of Japan, one of the fiercest battles of WWII was raging. The Japanese had created perhaps the best defended area anywhere on an island called Iwo Jima. Days into the battle, casualties were high. U.S. Marines were taking an awful pounding out in the open from enemy fortified positions. Japanese soldiers in pillboxes and bunkers knew that the greatest danger they faced was from a flamethrower if it could get near enough to hit them. Imagine a little guy strapping on a highly flammable 70-pound weapon, instantly drawing heavy enemy fire as he maneuvered close enough with a small team of Leathernecks to destroy a pillbox. "Woody" Williams did just that on the hellishly hot and sulfurous, volcanic island of Iwo, destroying Japanese emplacements against dire odds. He, along with numerous comrades, did it again and again, taking out hundreds of fortifications which had stalled their regiment's advance to secure the islands airfields. The capture of Iwo helped the new B-29s have P-51 fighter-plane escorts to help the bombers pound Japan into submission. Iwo actually was a backup landing zone for the Enola Gay if she had difficulties delivering her atomic bomb on 6 August 1945 at Hiroshima, a bomb American leaders hoped would bring Hirohito to his knees begging for surrender. Accomplished historian, Bryan Rigg, reconstructs Woody Williams' remarkable story, from his youth on a dairy farm in West Virginia to his experiences as a Marine on Guadalcanal, on Guam and on Iwo. Rigg tells Williams' story vividly, and objectively, and places it in the context of the broader Pacific theater of World War II. Using never-before-seen documents and interviews, Rigg brings out new information about the Pacific War unknown until now. As he explores Woody's life, Rigg enables the reader to better appreciate the brave Marines and their heroics. Moreover, Rigg explores the numerous problems with Woody's narrative. Consequently, this book also documents Woody's controversial Medal of Honor process, one of the most controversial MOH stories to come out of WWII.
