Newark Minutemen is a historical novel by the author Leslie K Barry. Story is set in 1930s when boxing was a popular sport in America. Jewish boxers were recruited by Mob King Longie Zwillman and trained by champion fighter Nat Arno to help the FBI fight a Hitler-shadow party of Nazis taking over America. These boxers are the Newark Minuteman. Longie Zwillman, a 34 years old man is the godfather of Newark, New Jersey. Yael’s father was murdered by Nazis in 1933 and his mother died after listening to the unfortunate news of his father’s death. Since then, Longie is the guardian of Yael and his brothers. Longie’s mobsters and the FBI formed an unholy alliance to plug Hitler from seeing his budding Nazi army in America.
As the story progresses, Yael meets Krista Brecht who is the daughter of German-American Nazi high command. As he shook hands with her, he could feel the current running through him.
Axel Von du Croy, son of Von du Croy from Germany announced about getting married to Krista. Krista herself was unaware of this. She is attending Camp Siegfried, a German Bund Camp in Long Island. A Nazi with a Jew definitely gonna be a trouble. Read this story to know what happens in the story next.
Leslie must have done vast research before writing this book. Although it’s a lengthy novel and took me much time to finish but it is worth reading. If you are interested in history to know more about the wars and the tensions between two countries, you couldn’t put this book down. I wasn’t aware about this part of American history. Book is written very well. Cover of the book looks nice and title is apt.
