War Paint: A Pictorial History of the 4th Marine Division At War in the Pacific - Volume IV Iwo Jima.

This is Volume Four of a four volume series. This volume continues where volume three left off. Now, the 4th Marine Division will participate in the battle for Iwo Jima, February - March, 1945, and return to their home base at Camp Maui for the duration of the war, with the uncertain prospect of invading Japan. All four volumes present over 850 photographs and more than 250 artworks. These intended for a mature audience. Viewing by children is not recommended.

During the Winter of 1942, New York City based modern artist, Theo Hios, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Soon thereafter, he found his way to other artists and the Marine Corps art program. Thus, a fully documented art movement within the ranks of the 4th Marine Division during the war in the Pacific is re-discovered.

This series will cover virtually every phase of the 4th Marine Division's history during WWII - from inception to the end of the War in the Pacific. If you are a history buff or art historian, then this series is for you.
