{"product_id":"cherries-a-vietnam-war-novel","title":"Cherries : A Vietnam War Novel","description":"A painfully accurate description of the life of a combat infantryman serving in the jungles of Vietnam.\n\nFor those who never served, it’s an eye-opener. For those who did, it serves as a reminder of that life long ago.\n\n\"Cherries\" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced throughout the year.\n\nIt's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.\n\nIn 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.\nThe 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.\n\nDon’t miss this riveting war story by award-winning author John Podlaski.\n\nThe Third Edition now includes thirty-eight personal photos.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1452879818\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1452879818.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:John Podlaski\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
