Iwo Jima Changed Everything

Shame on you for writing such an interesting book. I started reading at 8:50 and didn't stop 'til I finished. It's well written, well documented, well everything! Bill Norberg, World War II veteran /// "The real story of a man's overseas duty during World War II, and his life in general, both before and after the war. Poignant and bittersweet, Ms. Boyett weaves a touching tale that only a daughter can, finding out in retrospect how those experiences on Iwo Jima shaped her father's heart and influenced her life. A touching testimony to the veterans of that terrible war, "Iwo Jima Changed Everything" is well worth reading." Bryan Boyett, author of "Unsung Heroes: Voices of WWII" /// A daughter discovers a father she has never known: a man who faced both a world at war and deep personal disappointment. Noted International Author and Personal Historian Kathleen Shelby Boyett honors her father, F.G. Shelby, in this book by sharing his World War II story as a Base Intelligence Officer on Iwo Jima for the last part of the War in the Pacific and for the Occupation and by sharing his dreams after the war was over. The reader will learn that a veteran can remake his life after enduring wartime experiences and disappointments and find meaning in life again. A 1944 Air Intelligence School Manual supplies details of Shelby's duties, and a cache of photographs of Iwo Jima not seen for 70 years makes this book a real treasure.
