 | | James Bradley pays homage to those six flagraisers,(one of which was his father John) in a fantastic book that is Flags of our Fathers. |
 | | Bradley seems to suggest that the other branches of service (Army, Army Air Corps, Navy) were undisciplined and inferior in quality, and that the Normandy invasion was a comparatively easy mission. |
 | | Bradley does a good job of separating fact from myth, in particular, comparing the media distortion of the flag raising, one of the least heroic aspects of the battle, with the hellish fighting that raged for over a month on Iwo. |
