American Brush-Off
Max Willi Fischer
Genre: Historical fiction
“Dangerous enemy alien”—not a label popular athlete Lud Mueller expected for his senior year of high school. Interned in the Texas desert, he and his family become pawns in a secret World War II plan. Out of necessity, he learns brains trump brawn. Yet, his troubles don’t end when the war does.
It’s 1942, and the clouds of fear have gathered into the storms of bigotry throughout the United States. Innuendo has replaced due process. Clevelander Lud Mueller is an All-American boy. He’s got it all—looks, athletic ability, popularity and the sweetest girl between Chicago and New York. Now, the only country he’s ever known has a plan to tear his life to pieces without giving him a fighting chance. Ostracized before being interned in the Texas desert, he and his family become pawns in a secret World War II plan which doesn’t end when Germany surrenders. Out of necessity, he learns brains trump brawn.
