940.54 Bra Flags of Our Fathers is an exciting novel written by James Bradley, one of the sons of John Bradley. John was one of the 6 men who had raised the flag on Iwo Jima, in 1945. The novel tells the story of each of the 5 marines and Naval Corpsman who become the men in history’s most reproduced pictures, and also a symbol of our country. Through out the novel, you’ll learn about the life’s and death’s of these brave soldiers, the troubles of invading the Japanese infested island of Iwo Jima, and about the historical flag raising itself. I recommend this book to anybody who would love a good war book. |
