Opis

It was a time of walls. A great wall surrounded the free people of Berlin. An "Iron Curtain" cut East Germany off from West Germany. Those behind these walls were trapped, lived in slavery, and fear of a dictator threatening world domination and nuclear war. Far beyond the walls and across a great ocean, the young Senator John F. Kennedy, who was running for US President, ignited the hearts of his nation. He talked of serving humanity and building a "New Frontier" for world peace. Yet the world was still at war-the Cold War. In this pre-free-love beatnik Cold War Era of 1960's America, we see the world through the eyes of John Warner, recent college graduate-turned soldier stationed in West Germany near the East German and Czechoslovakian Iron Curtains. All he wanted was to be a simple soldier and serve his country against the Soviet Union's threat of worldwide Communist domination. But fate throws him into the murky world of Black Market smugglers, CIA and KGB spies, and assassins targeting Kennedy and other world figures.
