Terrible Price for Victory - Why the Battle of Iwo Jima Was So Deadly

Summary The battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 was one of the most brutal battles of the World War Two Pacific Campaign. The small volcanic island of Iwo Jima had an important strategic position for the US military, but the Japanese Army had learned how to defend in previous hard-fought battles on other islands like Guam, Peleliu or Guadalcanal and were determined to fight to the last man and last bullet by using heavily fortified positions with interlocking fields of fire to inflict heavy casualties on the attacking American forces.
