Picking Up the Pieces The Battle of Iwo Jima

About the Book This book is about a young Marine who went through the entire battle of IWO JIMA just 43 days before his 19th birthday. Now less than two months from his 80th birthday, he is putting his memories on paper where it belongs. His memory is alive and well, his eyewitness accounts are extremely vivid and accurate. This former Marine is the author of his own book, Picking up the Pieces. You will find this book to be heart-breaking in its entirety, accurate and true. You'll find this book often times will give you the urge to cry. In writing this book, don't be surprised to see faded tear drops here and there, that's okay because it will make you appreciate this book more. I also hope that you will find the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the honesty of Lincoln, and the bravery of Geronimo in the determination and victory of this Marine. The Author P.S. In my old age, I try not to remember my battle experiences too often, but when I do, you know what? I cry too.Ward, Fred L. is the author of 'Picking Up the Pieces The Battle of Iwo Jima', published 2006 under ISBN 9781425706845 and ISBN 1425706843.
