About
Based on a true story, Newark Minutemen is set late 1930s New Jersey when the German-American Bund threatens to swallow democracy. In this dangerous time of star-spangled fascism, a romance forms between the Jewish boxer, Yael Newman, and Krista Brecht, the daughter of the enemy. Join author Leslie K. Barry as she discusses how her book captures an authentic and brave portrait of a lost America searching for identity, preserving legacy, and saving its soul.
Signed copies of the book are available for purchase at Chevalier's Books, our bookstore partner.
