More Letters From Iwo Jima Pictures

Long-buried missives from the island reveal the stories of the Japanese troops who fought and died there during World War II. Among them are Saigo, a baker; Baron Nishi, an Olympic champion; and Shimizu, an idealistic soldier. Though Lt. Gen. Tadamichi Kuribayashi knows he and his men have virtually no chance of survival, he uses his extraordinary military skills to hold off American troops as long as possible.
