A painfully accurate description of the life of a combat infantryman serving in the jungles of Vietnam.
For those who never served, it's an eye-opener. For those who did, it serves as a reminder of that life long ago.
"Cherries" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced throughout the year.
It's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.
In 1970, John Kowalski was among many young, inexperienced soldiers sent to Vietnam to fight in a war that was already controversial. Referred to as "Cherries" by their veteran counterparts, these recruits were thrown into a brutal reality. Most were unprepared to handle the intense mental, emotional, and physical challenges of combat. Facing enemy fire and witnessing death firsthand sparks a deep, irreversible change.
The author excels at storytelling. Readers will cringe, weep, laugh, shudder, and feel this whole story as if they were there, and not want to set it down.
Don't miss this riveting war story by award-winning author John Podlaski.
