Sobre IBD

Powell B. Brown enlisted in the Marine Corps as a young man and went on to serve in combat units during World War II, the Korean War, and in Vietnam. In these memoirs, Brown recalls his burning desire to serve his country and the adventures he has along the way. He tells the story of his life as a new recruit, in the mess hall, and then being sent out to sea. Not everything is as he expects, but he learns quickly. Though he participates in some of the bloodiest battles of World War II and later joins in the fight against communism, Brown survives and thrives as a Marine-earning numerous medals for his bravery in combat.Join Brown as he remembers a wide variety of escapades and duty assignments, including his time spent as a drill instructor, a recruiter, and even as a teacher at a Marine Corps school. This was all in addition to his regular duty in the Amphibious Tractor Battalion. The story told in Memories of a United States Marine reveals important historical information as well as what it truly means to serve with honor.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
