Book Description
There have been many books written by and about people who have undergone horrible experiences in life. My purpose in writing this account is not to describe the atrocities that I experienced. It is to chronicle the recovery process and explain how I coped as a child, and how I am coping now, with Dissociative Identity Disorder. There are other personalities in my body. DID is very confusing and very scary. If by recording my strategies in book form, I can help even one person to deal with their own distress and either remain, or become, a functional member of society, I will consider this account a success. When I first began to put my account in book form, I thought I would group the verses together according to the feelings expressed in them. I did a few verses that way before I discovered that most of the verses portrayed a number of different feelings. As I continued compiling the manuscript I decided to include them in the order that seemed to fit them. I tried to keep them in the order they were written, but as I had already mixed them up that proved to be impossible. I tried very hard not to include any verses more than once. Please excuse me for any duplicates.

Book Description
In 1970, John Kowalski was among the many young, inexperienced soldiers sent to Vietnam to participate in a contentious war. Referred to as “Cherries” by their veteran counterparts, these recruits were plunged into a horrific reality. The on-the-job training was rigorous, yet most of these youths were ill-prepared to handle the severe mental, emotional, and physical demands of combat. Experiencing enemy fire and observing death up close initiates a profound transformation that is irreversible. The author excels at storytelling. Readers affirm feeling immersed alongside the characters, partaking in their struggle for survival, experiencing the fear, awe, drama, and grief, observing acts of courage, and occasionally sharing in their humor. "Cherries" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced over a year. It's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.

Book Description
Why did almost one thousand highly educated "student soldiers" volunteer to serve in Japan's tokkotai (kamikaze) operations near the end of World War II, even though Japan was losing the war? In this fascinating study of the role of symbolism and aesthetics in totalitarian ideology, Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney shows how the state manipulated the time-honored Japanese symbol of the cherry blossom to convince people that it was their honor to "die like beautiful falling cherry petals" for the emperor. Drawing on diaries never before published in English, Ohnuki-Tierney describes these young men's agonies and even defiance against the imperial ideology. Passionately devoted to cosmopolitan intellectual traditions, the pilots saw the cherry blossom not in militaristic terms, but as a symbol of the painful beauty and unresolved ambiguities of their tragically brief lives. Using Japan as an example, the author breaks new ground in the understanding of symbolic communication, nationalism, and totalitarian ideologies and their execution.
