Thanks to the brave Marines stationed there-and the civilian construction workers who selflessly put their lives on the line to defend the island-what was supposed to be an easy victory became a protracted and costly battle for Imperial Japan. This is the story of that battle, from survivors on both sides, and with a gallery of historic photos.","brand":"John Wukovits","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48438335176916,"sku":"9780451212054","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ad41a888-4cbf-45e7-8c52-591c614f77be.jpg?v=1786146260","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780451212054","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
