But what happened two days earlier has largely been a footnote, until now . . .On February 17, Landing Craft Infantry 449 was among a dozen gunboats helping to prepare the area for their invasion two days later. U.S. military leaders thought that they had weakened Japanese forces in the area. However, from the towering slopes of Mount Suribachi, Japanese forces opened fire, forcing the U.S. commanders to recalculate battlefield plans. They shelled and bombed the newly discovered enemy positions. It was a move that saved countless lives two days later, when tens of thousands of Marines stormed the beach. The Heart of Hell is the untold story of the crew of Landing Craft Infantry 449. Based on 130 exclusive interviews with sailors who survived the battle, the families of the men killed in the fight, and more than 1,500 letters the sailors mailed to loved ones during their long months at sea, this is a story of duty, brotherhood, love, and courage. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 610 10 United States.|bNavy|xHistory|yWorld War, 1939-1945. 610 20 LCI (G) 449 (Ship)|xHistory. 650 0 Iwo Jima, Battle of, Japan, 1945. 650 0 Iwo Jima (Volcano Islands, Japan)|xHistory, Naval|y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRegimental histories|zUnited States. 650 0 Landing craft|zJapan|zIwo Jima (Volcano Islands)|xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Gunboats|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Sailors|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xNaval operations, American. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xAmphibious operations. 700 1 Barrett, Joe. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11577662?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781494597399_180.jpeg
