Produktbeschreibung
In September 1989, Egon Krenz, deputy chairman of the GDR State Council, was sent to Beijing to congratulate China's political leadership on successfully suppressing the "counter-revolutionary uprising" personally and on behalf of the SED polite öce. This is the historical background of the story of this book. The East German communists applauded the Chinese Communist leaders for the brutal massacre at Tiananmen Square. They considered at the same time suppressing the increasing protests against their own corrupt clinging to power using military forces against their own people. But those who were ordered to use deadly force against 70,000 demonstrators deny the execution of the order, and the rest is history. But it could have come di¿erently. Based on that historical fact, the story develops the alternative. In the ¿ctional development, the communist leaders install a new agency equipped with power outside of any law to cleanse the elite from corrupt members as a signal to the people that the new leadership is the solution. Do the people fall for it? How does this new agency get set up? How is it Organized? What people are chosen for the job? These questions will be answered in Part-1 of the book trilogy.
Autorenporträt
Harald Zieger, raised behind the Iron Curtain, thoroughly indoctrinated with the communistic ideology, was a card-carrying member of the communist party when his belief system was scattered by the confrontation with GOD's word; as a graduated engineer, he served at a Navy base until he was expelled for publicly declaring his faith. After a ten-year fight with the almighty State Security Police (STASI), he could leave what he calls one of the largest prisons on earth. Twenty years later, he realized his lifetime dream and immigrated to the United States, only to realize that he was again on a train heading in the wrong direction. Harald is married and has two children and seven grandchildren.
