A True Life Story of the Battle of Iwo Jima
"Many books
have been written about Iwo Jima, but few have
conveyed such a personal account of the battle.
Your quick wit and unfailing sense of humor have
tempered a story of a battle that can only be
described as horrendous.
Those men are our Corps true heroes, and
your book is a testament to their sacrifices. I
very much appreciate your thoughtfulness and
will add your book to my professional library."
Semper Fidelis, Charles C. Krulak,

"I have just finished reading 'Iwo Jima: RED
BLOOD, BLACKSAND' and I am compelled to write
you at once and say what an outstanding book it
is. In my judgement no combat veterans memoir is
better than yours, and only a handful are equal.
Your story and the way you
tell it are superb. So are the photographs. But
most of all so are the quotations and your
observations.
Thank you forever
for what you and your fellow Marines did on Iwo
Jima, and for writing about it"
