  The Train To Crystal City by Jan Jarboe Russell 

  Join fellow MBC members for lively discussions in a relaxed atmosphere, right after our meeting on Zoom!

  Combining big-picture World War II history with a little-known event in American history, The Train to Crystal City reveals the war-time hysteria against the Japanese and Germans in America, the secrets of FDR’s tactics to rescue high-profile POWs in Germany and Japan, and above all, “is about identity, allegiance, and home, and the difficulty of determining the loyalties that lie in individual human hearts” (Texas Observer).
  

  8:30 on Zoom after our June 10th meeting.
