Official synopsis Publisher
“In Iron Gate, Richard Herman, Jr., thrusts his legendary hero, Colonel Matt Pontowski, USAF, into a dangerously unstable South Africa. At stake is a scientific and political prize that could shift the free world’s balance of power.” “Colonel Matthew Zachary Pontowski III is a combat veteran, a fearless pilot, and a seasoned and respected leader of men, but even he is not prepared for the military, political, and racial maelstrom into which he and his special air wing must venture.” “In the heartland of South Africa, a massive granite structure guards the entrance to the bastion of the AWB, the Afrikaner Resistance Movement. As news about the structure gets out, fear spreads that the Afrikaners are developing nuclear weapons to help them realize their dream of reasserting a white homeland.”–BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
