In 1945, the Pacific burned.
The Japanese Empire, once unstoppable, stood cornered as Allied forces closed in from every direction.
Then came Iwo Jima — a small volcanic island that would become the stage for one of the most brutal and defining battles of World War II.

For 36 days, U.S. Marines fought through ash, fire, and steel to capture a piece of land no larger than Manhattan — a battle that cost tens of thousands of lives but opened the road to Japan’s homeland.

This is the untold story of courage, sacrifice, and the empire’s final breath — the fall of Japan’s war machine, from the black sands of Iwo Jima to the mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
