Abstract (en)
An account of the battle; the raising of first one and then a second, larger American flag; photographic records of this; and especially the well-known photograph by Joe Rosenthal of Marines raising the second flag, which served as the basis for the Marine Corps Memorial Foundation monument (Arlington) and other Iwo Jima memorial statues by Felix de Weldon. The reviewer focuses on Rosenthal's photograph and on the controversy and confusion concerning its authenticity, noting that while it was not staged, its circumstances were misrepresented by the Marine Corps and the U.S. Government.
