Publisher's summary

Finalist for eBook of the Year general nonfiction and finalist for Book of the Year nonfiction military history in 2016. Number one Amazon best seller in Cold War history for five weeks.

Ground zero for a nuclear war was just over an hour northeast of Frankfurt, Germany. The small town of Fulda is nestled at the base of a natural gap in the hilly wooded terrain of West Germany and was a corridor between East and West Germany. Referred to as the Fulda Gap, this corridor was very likely the path the Warsaw forces and the Soviet Union would have taken to invade Europe.

The following is a historical look at the Cold War in Germany through the careers of 17 veterans who served there. These are their stories as they prepared to defend the Fulda Gap and ground zero.

The brave men and women who served in West Germany were the first line of defense against the enemy horde that would come through the gap, if hostilities ever began. Their mission was to hold that advancing horde for 48 hours until reinforcements arrived. None of them were expected to survive an invasion, and they all knew it. This was what they had enlisted for - it was their job, and they did it proudly.

This book is terrible.

Poor writing. Terrible narrator. This book is a collection of exaggerated Army stories. It's like getting caught at the end of the bar at a VFW hall with a veteran who embellishes his boring stories to make himself a super soldier.
