The Far Right and Left in times of peril: the rumblings behind the newly released novel, ‘Newark Minutemen’
Mark Twain said that history rhythms. Let’s see. America. 1938 vs 2020. Economic depression. Daily chats from a President and governors. Divided country. Guns slung over shoulders. Swastikas waving. Cries of “America First”. Ya.
Newark Minutemen is a new, based-on-true fiction that dusts off the 1930s history of the shadow Nazi party that almost toppled democracy in America doing the 1930s Great Depression. Written by Amazon new release best selling author Leslie K. Barry, the story follows the forbidden love affair between a Jewish boxer and the daughter of a German American-Nazi party member through these hard-to-relate to times.
At the time, Americans were divided between FDRs socialist vs fascist approach to healing America’s economic woes. As a result, most ignored demonstrators on both sides. What Depression-struck Americans did not understand was that Nazi Germany had planted seeds in America ten years or more before they had fired a bullet to begin WW2. With a self-proclaimed American HItler, Fuhrer Fritz Kuhn, a German immigrant living in Detroit and then New York, at the helm they created a multi-million dollar national presence called the German-American Bund. Kuhn managed and unified tens of thousands of American-Nazi Bund members into hundreds of cells and managed 25 Nazi youth camps across the US. These camps indoctrinated youth with Nazi ideology, culture and military training. Kuhn’s six-company corporation generated millions. He exploited US resources like the NRA and National guard to equip his army with guns and training. The FBI tracked millions of dollars in leading banks to Germany that proved ties between the American Bund and German Nazis.
Newark Minutemen lets the reader experience the government’s frustration that ties their hands. Crying freedom of expression rights, Hitler-uniformed troops march down 5th Ave., New York waiving American and Swastika flags.
Newark Minutemen also presents the unholy relationship that forms between the FBI and mob to topple the threat. After the 1929 stock market crash, it was the mob who had the money and power from prohibition days. In the story, a band of boxers called the Newark Minutemen who were managed by the Jewish mob fight the enemy.
In the story, a young boxer named Yael goes undercover as a German-American Bund stormtrooper and becomes an insider. His internal struggle against his own demons and trying to maintain his humanity gives this book depth.
Jumping between espionage and assassinations, Yael falls in love with the daughter of an American-Nazi officer. Told by four narrators in first person perspective, the book reveals ripping challenges of the clashing different worlds. Because this story is so much about connection, sometimes it’s hard to know who to root for.
The most shocking untold stories rise from the American Nazi youth camps that the Bund had built across the country. The innocence that is robbed from the campers is cringeworthy. As you read the author’s notes, you will discover that these stories were well documented.
The twists and surprises keep a reader turning the pages until the end.
