In this installment of the Strategic Studies series, we will look at the Battle of Iwo Jima. The Battle of Iwo Jima was fought from February 16 to March 26, 1945. One of the last battles of the Pacific Campaign between the United States and Japanese Empire, it was unique thanks to the Japanese commander's insistence on a non-traditional inland defense. In this podcast episode, Operation Detachment, which was the American plan to seize the island, will also be evaluated from a strategic point of view.
