In 1970, John Kowalski was one of many young, naive teenage soldiers sent to Vietnam to fight in an unpopular war. Dubbed “Cherries” by their more seasoned peers, these newbies suddenly found themselves thrust into the middle of a nightmare. Literally forced to become men overnight, they had to learn quickly, however, they were hardly ready to absorb the harsh mental, emotional, and physical stress of war. Once they come under fire and witness death first-hand, a life changing transition begins. Are you willing to join them on their quest for survival; to experience the fear, awe, drama and sorrow, witness the bravery and sometimes laugh at their humor? Want to understand why our military heroes are different when returning home?
Cherries – A Vietnam War Novel, the historical fiction novel by author John Podlaski, is available in eBook and audio book through Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
