Read the book “Flyboys” by James Bradley. It talks specifically about the war on Chichi Jima. Flyboys

Flyboys is a pretty good book on the subject. Written by James Bradley, the author of Flags of Our Fathers.

It's slightly romanticized, but still a good insight into what happened. He interviewed veterans of both sides of the conflict, which is interesting.

It was common when using live prisoners for bayonet practice to order trainees not to aim for the heart, lest the prisoners die "too quickly".

No this has nothing to do with the shitty WW1 movie with James Franco.
