Octavo, orange & black boards (hardcover), xxix + 224 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Pacific War. It is the first memoir written by a Japanese military officer, who helped plan the Battle of Iwo Jima, to be published in English, and it is one of the few known accounts by a Japanese survivor of the battle. This book is an annotated translation of the memoirs of Imperial Japanese Army Major Yoshitka Horie co-edited by Charles W. Tatum, a USMC veteran of the Battle of Iwo Jima, and Robert D. Eldridge, an American academic who is a specialist on U.S.-Japan relations. Horie's book was first published in Japan in 1965, on the twentieth anniversary of the battle. It was his desire to have it published in English, but he passed away in 2003 before seeing his dream realized. Horie was one of only four Japanese field-grade officers directly associated with the Battle of Iow Jima who survived the campaign. As a specialist in logistics, Horie headed Lieutenant General Kuribayashi's detached headquarters on Chici Jima, located between Iwo Jima and mainland Japan. Initially assigned to Iwa Jima, Horie was sent by Kuribayashi to Chichi Jima a few months before the actual battle in October 1944 in order to take charge of logistics and shipping, and thus was spared.

Yoshitake Horie, a Japanese field-grade Army officer who served as a liaison officer with the Japanese Navy, was in a unique position to describe in detail the respective positions, ideas, and assumptions that both services had about the Pacific War.

During a dinner with Major Yoshitaka Horie (in charge of 109th Divisions Detached Headquarters on Chichi Jima) Kuribayashi asked Horie his opinion for defending Iwo Jima, to which Horie replied it was vulnerable as "a pile of eggs" and better to sink it to the bottom of the ocean with enough explosives. Kuribayashiwho had spent much time in Canada as deputy military attaché and traveled often in Americawas in agreement, however they knew that at 628 miles (1,011 km) from Tokyo, Iwo Jima would be "a dagger aimed straight at the heart of the homeland". Before leaving Japan to take up his post, Kuribayashi had informed his wife not to expect him home.

Charles William Tatum (July 23, 1926 - June 22, 2014) was an American World War II veteran and bronze star recipient. On February 19, 1945, he was among the first wave of Marines to land on the Japanese island stronghold of Iwo Jima. Tatum's war memoir is Red Blood, Black Sand.

This is the first memoir written by a Japanese military officer (Major Yoshitaka Horie) who helped plan the Battle of Iwo Jima, to be published in English, and it is one of the few known accounts by a Japanese survivor of the battle.
