GREEN CARD SOLDIER – Historical fiction adventure novel

Historical Fiction Adventure Novel

GREEN CARD SOLDIER

Bruce Zielsdorf’s book narrative treks across the globe during the Bosnian holocaust as a teenage soccer star escapes to America and joins the Army. While ultimately fiction, “Green Card Soldier” embodies the stories of 30,000-plus refugees currently dedicating their careers and lives to the United States’ military.

The saga is set amidst the civil war-ravaged Balkans of the early 1990s, the novel Green Card Soldier fuses fact with fiction to tell the story of Andro Babich, a naïve Bosnian teen soccer star who escapes to America where he earns refugee status, receives a “green card” and joins the U.S. Army – ultimately earning his citizenship and a new life.

Eventually he returns to post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina as a U.S. AID worker and discovers, through trial and tribulation, his life’s purpose and his role in the rebirth of his homeland.

“The book’s theme is as fundamental as the core values of an American Soldier: Life can become richer and everyone become stronger when we look beyond stereotypes and appreciate each other for the unique individuals we are. —U.S. Army Maj. Gen. (Ret.) John G. Meyer, Jr.CEO, J. G. Meyer & Associates
