Sandwiched between Hitler''s Nazi regime and Stalin''s communist collectivism, life in Hungary during the 1940s and 1950s was desperately dangerous. Struggling to survive economic and political hardships, Gabe Kubichek and his family stayed quiet but not compliant.In a fascinating memoir, Gabe comes of age in this geographically unfavorable region. He loves the idea of Amerika even before he learns to read. Loathing the government''s dominance, Gabe is recruited as an informant through a high school cohort with connections to American agents. When he is conscripted into the Hungarian military, Gabe continues his dangerous endeavors, delivering valuable military data to Western allies. Suspected of treason, Gabe narrowly escapes the firing squad with a dishonorable discharge.Gabe''s unwavering dream of America is realized after he becomes involved in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. As the Russians crush the rebellion, Gabe flees, eventually making it to America with barely more than the clothes on his back. His adventures continue in his adopted country with service in Vietnam with the United States Department of Defense.This intriguing memoir is a readable narrative that recounts pivotal moments in world history and presents a very real look at events that until now have seemed unspeakably unreal.
