In his book, 'Cherries', John Podlaski takes you the reader, right into the battle with him and his platoon on their journey through the fields, rice paddies and jungles of Vietnam. From his arrival 'In Country' as a 'Cherry', to his return home, and the uneasy, brisk, return to civilian life, John offers an insiders account of the true horrors of war. However, he also lets the reader see and feel all the other emotions of battle and military life, as only someone who 'was there' can relay them. Your 'In Country' journey with John as you read his story is so fascinating and riveting that you won't be able to put it down once you start reading through it's pages. I know that I'm going to have to read it all over again to make sure that I didn't miss anything on my first journey through 'Cherries'. I feel this is a must read situation for anyone who wants to really know what it was like to be a soldier in the Vietnam War.
