On March 1st, 1945, five Marines were killed in one of the most horrific battles of World War II, and their bodies were never recovered. Finding these young men after almost seventy years seems an impossible task, but that's what Tom Sanders plans to do. He has a historian with detailed knowledge of the battle and a crime scene investigator with sophisticated tools, but they won't be enough. Sanders needs something more, something special. He needs a couple of good dogs.Join search and rescue dog, Gunny, and explosive detection dog Luke as they and their human teammates travel to the island of Iwo Jima. On Iwo, they will face difficult terrain, harsh weather, and an uncooperative Japanese commander. But those will be the least of their problems. On this tiny island, which saw so much pain and death, there are things that none of them, human or canine, have experienced before - the Ghosts of Iwo Jima.
