Book description

Take up your weapons and prepare to fight your own battle in these all-action, interactive adventures, in which you take part in epic battles from throughout history. It is 1945 and though Nazi Germany has been defeated, World War II rages on as Japan continues to fight. The US Marines have fought their way across the Pacific Ocean, defeating Japanese forces one small island at a time. The fighting has now reached Iwo Jima, a rocky volcanic island only 600 miles from Japan. You are a US Marine just about to land on the steep beaches of Iwo Jima. You must fight across the black sand to knockout the sea guns based there and take the island... Gary Smailes was the researcher for Terry Deary's original Horrible Histories series, before becoming a children's history author and co-founder of Bubblecow - a literary consultancy which helps other writers to get published. He is author of the Brave Scot series, as well as Famous Scots, and the interactive fighting series Battle Books, where the reader chooses what will happen in real battles fought throughout history.
