The Yanks Are Starving: A Novel of the Bonus Army

The Yanks Are Starving: A Novel of the Bonus Army
During the tense summer of 1932, a charismatic hobo leads 20,000 jobless World War I veterans into Washington, D.C. to demand payment of their service compensation. In this epic novel that sweeps across three decades, eight Americans come of age in Europe, only to reunite during the Great Depression to determine the fate of a nation on the brink of upheaval.

From the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Plain of West Point, from the persecution of conscientious objectors to the horrors of the Marne, from the Hoovervilles of the heartland to the pitiful Anacostia encampment in the bowels of the nation’s capital, here is the little-known story of the political intrigue and government betrayal that led to the only violent clash ever waged between two American armies under the same flag. $0.99 on Kindle.
