Samenvatting:

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.
