  Theodore Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is a United States murderer, mathematician, and neo-Luddite social critic who carried out a campaign of mail bombings. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age. 
  A considerable amount of credible circumstantial evidence suggests that Kaczynski was the unwitting victim of top secret CIA-sponsored 'MK-ULTRA' mind-control experiments conducted at Harvard University from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962. Some experts suggest that these experiments may have been the cause of his emotional problems. 
  Kaczynski eventually received an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25 but resigned two years later. 
  In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water, in Lincoln, Montana, where he began to learn survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient. 
  He decided to start his bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home get destroyed by development. 
  From 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing three people and injuring 23. Kaczynski sent a letter to The New York Times on April 24, 1995 and promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or The Washington Post published his manifesto. In his Industrial Society and Its Future (also called the "Unabomber Manifesto"), he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization. 
  included in this volume: 
  -Unnamed Essay 
  -When Non-Violence is Suicide 
  -Hit Where It Hurts 
  -Industrial Society and Its Future (aka The Unabomber Manifesto)

  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.
