Synopsis

A young American soldier enters the Army. What he finds in the Fulda Gap will shape the rest of his life—and pull him into the shadows of a very Cold War.

In 1968, a two-year enlistment seemed like an eternity.

Instead, it became an education most career soldiers spend years trying to earn.

Guided by the officers and senior NCOs of the 3rd Armored Division’s 1st/48th Infantry, one young draftee learns lessons in responsibility, courage, and leadership that will define the man he becomes. What begins as military service in Germany soon opens into something larger: CIA-conceived operations inside the Fulda Gap, rising global tension, and a front-row seat to the even more dangerous succeeding years of the Cold War.

RedEye Fulda Cold is a powerful coming-of-age military thriller filled with authentic Army life, patriotism, camaraderie, romance, hard-won humor, and high-stakes international intrigue.

"With a smooth, wry touch, Bill Fortin spins a page-turning Cold War tale capturing both the great bravery and the occasional comic moments – some intentional, some classic SNAFUs – of U.S. military intelligence saving the world from Russian invasion."–
W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV, #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Authors

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I was receiving an education that normally would take most career NCOs years to gain. I was being groomed for something but not sure for what. They knew I was getting out in a few months. Maybe they hoped I would change my mind. There were worse ways to spend your life, I supposed. The acceptance of responsibility and the decision making was becoming second nature. Truth be told, I was really starting to like this time in service. The company of soldiers was the strongest feeling of friendship I had ever experienced. I wondered if it was because the stakes were always so high, the trust so fragile but so easily given. We counted on each other for everything.
