Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* For the last half-century, the Iwo Jima monument has been a popular tourist attraction in Washington, D.C., instantly recognized by most U.S. citizens and frequently parodied in editorial cartoons. Photojournalist Buell, a former head of Associated Press photography, has been fascinated with the Battle of Iwo Jima for 45 years and now has produced a most readable history of it, the photographer who shot the famous picture memorialized by the monument sculpture, and the controversy surrounding battle, picture, and, later, memorial. In the telling, he shows how war reporting and the role of the photograph in it have changed--and stayed the same--over the course of 60 years. Digital videocams have replaced the black-and-white film that had to be hoarded because the resupplying of it was uncertain, and still an effective shot can define a battle and a campaign for millions, as was proved again by 9/11. The book is heavily illustrated with photos of the Iwo Jima campaign that are interesting both in themselves and as examples of war reporting at the time. Consider this the best kind of popular history, accessible to professional and general reader alike. Frieda Murray
