Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. OutstandingBy Patrick and Robyn O'DonnellRobert Maiden's outstanding memoir provides an unparalleled foxhole view of the battle of Iwo Jima. Beginning with Paramarine training; this well put together memoir chronicles his journey through WWII capturing the hell of the Pacific's worst battle. The book then moves through the post-war years to Korea; culminating with the landings at Inchon. Maiden later serves in Vietnam. I highly recommend Return from Iwo Jima because it's written by a true hero and patriot.Patrick O'DonnellAuthor of Into The Rising Sun and Beyond Valor
