About this Item
As new condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes map frontispiece and rear section of vintage World War II postcards and posters. Signed by the author with thick maroon Sharpie/marker on the title page. "Filled with colorful characters and voices, Uncle Sam's blends history, espionage and race relations into a lively and imaginative tale that brings St. Augustine alive during the early days of America's entry into the Second World War." Brian Thompson, Columnist, The St. Augustine Record "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 Uncles Sam's -- a place where flag-waving patriotism, big band music and cold beer are blended nightly to conceal a horrible secret! In his.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.". Seller Inventory # 001431
