Book Overview
The 5th Marine Division arrived at Iwo Jima on 22 transports. They departed a month later not quite filling eight. This book is the story of those 33 days on Iwo Jima as seen through the eyes of the chief medical officer for the 3d Battalion, 27th Marines. It is a story of valor throughout, but it is a human story as well, including instances of lost nerve, duty shirking, and tactical errors. Dr. Vedder, who earned the Silver Star for his courageous actions while accompanying Iris litter-bearers to and from the front lines raider fire, delivers a unique account from the vantage points of surgeon, leader, and semi-objective observer. -- USNI Proceedings
