Who is Jack Bergon?, (Paperback)

<p>Born in Brooklyn in 1936, Jack Bergon's early life was a whirlwind of moving trucks, street games, and the raw education that only New York pavement can provide. From dodging trolley car drivers to sneaking into Ebbets Field to watch the Brooklyn Dodgers, Jack and his tight-knit, diverse circle of neighborhood friends knew how to survive and make their own fun. But beneath the nostalgic street-corner games lay a fast-paced environment where Jack quickly learned he had to hustle for everything he wanted.</p><p></p><p>As the years rolled on, Jack transitioned from building shoe-shine boxes and running pool tables to navigating the intense dating scene of Queens. After a petty dispute with a high school English teacher costs him his graduation points, Jack skips the high school prom entirely for his own adult adventures and decides to take his future into his own hands by volunteering for the U.S. Army.</p><p></p><p>Basic training at Fort Dix whips Jack into the best physical shape of his life, but his journey takes a sharp, dangerous turn when his deployment orders arrive. Instead of heading to the front lines of the Korean War, Jack is called behind closed curtains into a general's office for a classified assignment. Given a dangerous undercover mission, he is sent deep into Europe to locate, infiltrate, and expose the covert supply lines funneling military equipment to North Korea.</p><p></p><p><em>Who Is Jack Bergon?</em> is a gritty, unvarnished, and incredibly candid look at one man's life. Blending elements of a mid-century coming-of-age story, a sweeping romantic memoir, and an international espionage thriller, this fast-paced book takes readers on an unforgettable journey from the street corners of Brooklyn to the shadow operations of Europe</p>
