This is a tale of the much misunderstood Cold War. While everyone has heard of the Berlin Wall, few even knew of the Border, the long, supposedly “non-hostile” dividing line between communist and free nations that stretched all across Europe. The Soviet guard towers, the mine fields, and the razor-sharp wire fences were common knowledge to the Allied soldiers who had to face down Soviet tanks with every Alert. The Border was manned around the clock for over forty years by NATO/American soldiers with very short life expectancies should the “balloon have gone up,” which was the cliched euphemism for a potentially-hostile World War III.
Meet the “family” of the Borderline, the cocky Cavalry, the Artillery famous for their “punch,” the muddy Infantry, the Aviators flying around trees as often as over them in early NOE surveillance, the Spies with a low profile, and the Engineers who actually understood mines. And yes, the DoDDS school teachers who both taught children and supported their military friends in every crisis.
The alcoholic, the cynic, the skirt chaser, the party animal, the soft-heart, the flirt, the sophisticate, the skier, the secretive–all are seen through the naive eyes of a suicidal young widow who must gather strength to live again from the example of men facing the possibility of death with every assignment. This novel, both tragic and comic, tells their story.
It was the vigilance of these soldiers that kept the Cold War from becoming a Hot one, yet few will ever know the secret shadows against that Iron Curtain.
