Foreword
This concise narrative of the Marine battle for Iwo Jima and the events surrounding the famous flag raisings atop Mount Suribachi is an updated revision of one of the most popular pamphlets ever produced by the History and Museums Division. Compiled from original records and appropriate historical works and printed as two separate reference pamphlets in 1962, the chronicle was combined into one volume in 1967.
This revision of the 1967 pamphlet adds significant new material on the two flag raisings on Iwo Jima as well as updated biographical material on some of the flag raisers. Also included because of the immense interest in the Marine Corps War Memorial, is a fact sheet on the construction of the Memorial, along with other pertinent information on the monument.
In this 50th anniversary year of the final drive to victory in the Pacific, this pamphlet is dedicated to all of the heroes of Iwo Jima.
Edwin H. Simmons Brigadier General, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret) Director of Marine Corps History and Museums
