From October 23 through November 10, 1956, Hungarian citizens, sparked by the students of Budapest, revolted in a violent uprising against the repressive government and its Soviet-imposed policies. JozsefBukkhegyi, a young engineering student was among them. Two weeks after the Revolution, with the help of a CIA operative, he fled his homeland to save his life. Most never made it out. A Man of Two Flags captures the story of Jozsi's life in Hungary and as he settles in the U.S. Moving through his childhood in Nazi-occupied Hungary to post-Vietnam America, Jozsi's story is one of fighting for freedom??????-- from his time in Hungary, to being a member of the US Special Forces in N. Korea, and as a CIA operative in Panama, Italy and Puerto Rico. Though he enlisted in the U.S. Army his ties to Hungary remain powerful. He is haunted by the suffering he witnessed, the betrayal of a boyhood friend, and the continued strangulation of the country he loves. In later years, Joszi settles into life as a husband, father, and engineer, but is repeatedly brought back into his undercover occupation with the CIA counter Intelligence to settle old scores and gather intelligence. Throughout his life, Jozsi is always able to maintain his sense of adventure and humor. His light-hearted charm and quick wit serves him well. JozsefBukkhegyi wrote a semi-fictional account of his life, a hybrid about war and mystery, love, loss, and revenge. Underneath all is the story of a young man trying to hold honor and integrity in his quest for peace. This rewritten version preserves his compelling story of a life lived amidst the churn of historical forces. Underneath all is the story of a young man trying to hold honor and integrity in his quest for peace and for restoring the soul of his first flag. This rewritten version preserves his compelling story of a life lived amidst the churn of historical forces.
