Iwo, 26 Charlie

World War II Navy, Book 10

De: P. T. Deutermann

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

The island of Iwo Jima was the epic land and sea battle that produced one of the iconic images of WWII: the Marines raising the American flag on Mount Surabachi, an active volcano that was the site of intense hand to hand combat. In this gripping novel, P. T. Deutermann follows a young gunnery liaison officer, Lee Bishop, who during the ferocious battle for the island is pulled from his station aboard the USS Nevada to serve onshore as a spotter, calling in coordinates for the ship to target with missiles.

But Bishop is completely unready for what he will witness and experience: a literal hell, during which 26,000 Americans are killed in a fight to the very last man, which culminates in the blistering, sulfurous tunnels of Surabachi itself, where an entire platoon of Marines is held captive. Iwo, 26 Charlie is a dramatic, utterly authentic novel by an award-winning writer.

Great story. Narrator not so much

Always a great story from PT,

This narrator was abysmal. Every sentence spoken with overly dramatic running out of breath. It got really annoying .

The hard truth about the men who fought at Iwo.

It was all good. A captivating story that was well presented and well told by the reader.

Typical Deutermenn- GREAT.

A fast paced, well researched and great listen. Fits well within his WW2 Naval Warfare series.

intense detail

The author does a terrific job of giving you a visual experience of the Bayne of Iwo Jima

Incredibly Original!

When you think about all of the stories written about WWII, this one could arguably be one of the most original. Loved it!

Not what expected but I LOVED it!

I was not expecting this to be a book from the perspective of somebody on the ground in evil Chima, even though it is a navy person. What amazing job and twist in this book by fall one of if not my favorite one yet!

Award Winner

This is my last PTD WWII book. What an amazing finish and a truly inspiring adventure. I don’t have sufficient words to describe what I just listened to. The listener will go through all emotions with tears prominent at completion. You will get a true feel for what our ancestors went through in their fight to protect our way of life. All of PTD’s books are outstanding but I suggest that you listen to this one last.

Authenticity

As ever great story by Mr Deuterman. And great narration. I have read most of these books. I’m now looking to see if there’s any li missed

Feeling

Nothing but there are a few references that I didn't recognize. for example the LC1 boat is new to me

Classic war story

Not disappointed as a Deutermann fan. Simple but fun to listen to in the genre.
