Synopsis
It's April, 1942 and St. Augustine glistens in the warm Florida sun. For the residents of America's oldest city, the ravages of a world war seem far away. Comfortable in their tidy, historic community, increasing tourism seems more important than fighting fascism. But for the town's black residents, the war has brought their situation into sharp contrast -- especially when it comes to UNCLE SAM's -- a place where flag-waving patriotism, big band music and cold beer are blended nightly to conceal a horrible secret!
In his new novel, Jay Humphreys mixes Nazi U-boats, the FBI, racial strife, patriots, scoundrels and even Cab Calloway into an unforgettable story of courage and sacrifice.

Review
"The perfect beach read." - Delta Sky Magazine"Sharp and seductive, Uncle Sam's draws the reader through parallel stories of love, life, bigotry, espionage and murder that have all been seamlessly molded into the whole. It really doesn't get much better than this. Kudos to Humphreys for Uncle Sam's." WGCU-TV, Fort Myers"Unable to put it down - meticulously researched with unique twists and turns." - The Venice Gondolier
