Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this is a compilation of two excellent books about the 4th Marine Division: History of the 4th Marine Division - 1943-2000 and The 4th Marine Division in World War II. It communicates the proud lineage and tradition of the "Fighting Fourth" Marine Division.

The history of the "Fighting Fourth" Marine Division is a very proud and distinguished one. Its honors and lineage are a narrative to the dedication and sacrifice of Marines and Sailors that, woven together, chronicles this most distinguished combat division of the United States Marine Corps. This second edition closes the gap in the written history of the division and updates the landmark work begun by my predecessor Brigadier General Frederick Lopez. Its story begins with the division's activation for war in 1943, looks at the Reserve issues in the 1950 s and 1960's, follows the reactivation and organization for war after Vietnam and combat in Southwest Asia. This work ends in 2000 with the 4th Marine Division, a proud and powerful contributor to the Total Force and a critical link in America's warfighting capability for the 21st century.
