| Publisher Description: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A TRUE STORY. IT NEVER HAPPENED...In The Taking of Sergeant Gonzalez, US Army Sergeant First Class David Gonzalez is snatched off the streets of West Berlin during a special operation run by the Soviet Forces in Germany. Set 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain, and in 1950 West Berlin was well on its way to becoming the Spy capital of the world. The Soviets played almost every trick in the book to get the upper hand over the Western Forces in West Berlin and blatant kidnapping of "key" members of the Western Forces was almost commonplace in West Berlin. Held at and tortured in the notorious Soviet-run Karlshorst Detention Center in East Berlin, Gonzalez was no stranger to what his Russian captors were offering. Having been a Prisoner of War five years prior, Gonzalez is a tough nut to crack. The Soviets call in their top interrogator to break the American. Meanwhile, back in the American Sector, Gonzalez's soldiers do what they can to get their Sergeant back including kidnapping someone they believe is key to Gonzalez's disappearance. This story takes a sudden turn when Gonzalez and his interrogator realize they share a common past. Soon what was supposed to be routine becomes an all-out brawl between duty, honor, country and friendship. |
