Hold High The Torch: A History Of The 4th Marines is a comprehensive account of the history and achievements of the 4th Marine Regiment. Written by Kenneth W. Condit, a former officer in the regiment, the book covers the unit's formation in 1914, through its service in World War I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, up to its present-day operations.The book provides a detailed analysis of the 4th Marines' combat operations, including their role in some of the most significant battles of the 20th century, such as Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Hue City. It also delves into the unit's training, organization, and leadership, highlighting the contributions of key figures such as Colonel John H. Russell, Jr., and General James L. Jones.In addition to its military history, Hold High The Torch also explores the social and cultural context of the 4th Marines, including the experiences of individual Marines and their families, the unit's relationship with the local communities where it served, and its role in shaping Marine Corps traditions and values.Overall, Hold High The Torch is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most storied units in the Marine Corps, offering readers a unique insight into the experiences and achievements of the men and women who have served in the 4th Marines over the past century.Preface By W.
