Part One, "The Resources," lists information on more than 800 books, magazines, official documents, audio-visual materials and online resources about the Battle of Iwo Jima. Each listing is annotated to assist researchers, historians, veterans and others who are seeking information. The compiler of this resource guide also comments on the relevancy of the listings in chapters one and two - "Books" and "Bibliographies" - to help readers determine which sources to consult. Part Two, "Other Useful Resources," presents the texts of hard-to-locate documents; a series of maps showing the day-by-day progression of the battle; a guide to Iwo Jima memorial sites around the world; a selection of poetry inspired by the battle; and transcriptions of radio news reports broadcast during the battle.
