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.
