520    In 1944, the U.S. Marines were building the 5th Marine 
       Division-also known as 'The Spearhead'-in preparation for 
       the invasion of the small, Japanese-held island of Iwo 
       Jima. When Charlie Tatum entered Camp Pendleton to begin 
       Marine boot camp, he was just a smart-aleck teenager eager
       to serve his country. Little did he know that he would be 
       training under the watchful eyes of a living legend of the
       Corps-Congressional Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone,
       who had almost single-handedly fought off a Japanese force
       of three-thousand on Guadalcanal, and survived. It was 
       from Basilone and other 'Old Breed' sergeants that Tatum 
       would learn how to fight like a Marine and act like a man,
       as he went through the hell of boot camp to the raucous 
       port of Pearl Harbor with its gambling, gals, and tattoos,
       to the island of death itself, where he hit the black sand
       of Iwo Jima with thirty thousand other Marines in the 
       climactic battle of the Pacific Theater. It was on that 
       godforsaken strip of land that Tatum and Basilone would 
       meet again under a hellish rain of bullets and bombs-and 
       where Tatum would make his own mark, carrying ammo for the
       machine gun carried by Basilone. Together they would lead 
       the breakout off the beach, driving through and destroying
       a swath of enemy soldiers in the first man-to-man combat 
       on Iwo Jima. Red Blood, Black Sand is the story of Chuck's
       two weeks in hell, where he would watch his hero, Basilone,
       fall, where the enemy stalked the night, where snipers 
       haunted the day, and where Chuck would see his friends 
       whittled away in an eardrum-shattering, earth-shaking, 
       meat grinder of a battle. Before the end, Chuck would find
       himself, like Basilone, standing alone, blind with rage, 
       firing a machine gun from the hip, in a personal battle to
       kill a relentless foe he had come to hate. This is the 
       island, the heroes, and the tragedy of Iwo Jima, through 
       the eyes of the battle's greatest living storyteller, 
       Chuck Tatum.
