Description: It remains the U.S. Marine Corps' bloodiest battle. Fifty ì years later, it is A.P. photographer Joe Rosenthal's ì Pulitzer-winning photo of Marines raising the American flag on ì Mt. Suribachi that keeps the memory of Iwo Jima alive. ì Uncommon Valor, Common Virtue is a full account of the ì battle itself and of Rosenthal's ten days on Iwo Jima as Marines ì fought against a murderous Japanese onslaught. It recounts the ì enduring legacy of "the photograph" - most recently in the ì historic picture of three firemen raising the American flag at ì the site of the World Trade Center, recalling Rosenthal's ì timeless image of steely resolve in the face of tyranny.
