American Samurai: Myth, Imagination, and the Conduct of Battle in the First Marine Division, 1941–1951
(Cambridge University Press, 1994), pp. 251–54, addresses the American symbolism of the flag-raising. Cameron (pp. 252–53) notes that there were actually two flag raisings, the famous second one designed to “replace the smaller initial flag with a larger, more visible one. The men who fought their way to the top of the volcano and whose actions were preserved in a photographic record…were quickly lost in obscurity that Marine Corps publicists actively fostered so as not to confuse the desired symbolism of the second raising.”
