520    "Aquilino Gonell came to the United States from the 
       Dominican Republic as a young boy. Although he spoke no 
       English, he dedicated himself to his adopted land, 
       striving for the American dream. Determined to be a 
       success story, he joined the army to pay for college. He 
       saw action in Iraq and returned home with PTSD. Believing 
       in the promise of our government, he focused on healing 
       himself and supporting his family. His hard work paid off 
       when he landed a coveted position with the United States 
       Capitol Police and rose to the rank of sergeant. January 6,
       2021, changed everything. When insurrectionists stormed 
       the Capitol, Gonell bravely faced down the mob attempting 
       to thwart the peaceful transfer of power. The brutal 
       injuries he sustained that day would end his career in law
       enforcement. But when some of the very people he put his 
       life on the line to protect downplayed or denied the truth
       of that day, he chose to speak out against the injustice 
       done to him and the country. Chronicling what it means to 
       live a life of conviction, one that adheres to the best 
       ideas of our democracy, American Shield is a bold 
       testament to the power of truth, justice, and 
       accountability from a highly decorated officer and 
       immigrant who exemplifies the greatest aspirations of a 
       grateful nation"--|cProvided by publisher.
