Author: Tom Holm
Narrator: Shaun Taylor Corbett
The gripping, forgotten tale of Ira Hayes-a Native American icon and World War II legend who famously helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima but spent the latter half of his life haunted by being a war hero. IRA HAYES tells the story of Ira Hamilton Hayes from the perspective of a Native American combat veteran of the Vietnam generation. Hayes, along with five other Marines, was captured in Joe Rosenthal's iconic photograph of raising the stars and stripes on Mount Suribachi during the battle for the Japanese Island of Iwo Jima. Between the time he helped raise that flag and his death-and beyond-he was the subject of more newspaper columns than any other Native person. He was hailed as a hero and maligned as a chronic alcoholic unable to take care of himself. IRA HAYES explores these fluctuating views of Ira Hayes.

From the acclaimed author comes a stirring manifesto on love in the modern age. Who wrote the book of love?
