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.
