It is a window into the war from the perspective of the author, who served in a rapid response assault force, as 'the Marine.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reader shares the Marine's experience through a year of combat that tested his character and shaped his destiny. Small joined the Marine Corps in 1969 at 19 years old, coming from a small Vermont farming community. After boot camp and specialty training he landed in Da Nang as a private first class. With three battlefield promotions in 8 months, he soon became a platoon sergeant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall did not talk of his experiences in Vietnam over the next forty years, but has now written this book for veterans' families, including his own, to understand what their loved ones experienced. It is a unique and powerful text that is written in such a way it brings you inside the marine; you see what he sees, feel what he feels. You know him, his back story, what he is thinking, why he made the decisions he needed to make. No names are mentioned throughout the book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMemories Unleashed\u003c\/i\u003e is an assemblage of memories, consisting of stories that stand alone to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
