“U.S. Sergeant Aquilino Gonell describes the calamity in goosebump-inducing detail and is refreshingly candid in his disparagement of the attackers who attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. This dispatch from the front lines of America’s political polarization grips." —Publishers Weekly
Here is a memoir from a Latin American that reflects the immigrant experience, the courage and fortitude to find his place in a new country, and finally the call to defend that country and its freedoms. This book is far from the fiction novels I often recommend, but it is a diverse voice with a message for students and adults who seek to expand their appreciation for our multi-cultural society.
"Whenever duty calls, Sergeant Gonell answers. His story of service and resilience is uplifting and inspiring. And he's my height, which I also admire!" —Jon Stewart
