"A great summer read by a splendid writer....

But it is a family story as well, its gripping moments in time meticulously assembled by Freeman." - Bergen Record, "Do we need another book about WWII? If it is as engaging as The Jersey Brothers , the answer is a resounding yes.... The Jersey Brothers is an important addition to the historical record; it's also a spellbinding cliffhanger." - New Jersey Monthly, "Too exciting to be quite believable as fiction; luckily, it's entirely true.... Deeply researched, intelligently judged, vividly presented....

The Jersey Brothers is an important addition to the historical record; it's also a spellbinding cliffhanger." - New Jersey Monthly, "A captivating tour-de-force that immediately stands tall with the best of other World War II combat literature.... Freeman weaves together a story that will tug at the emotions of anyone who has ever known someone who has worn our nation's uniform in peacetime or at war." - San Antonio Express-News, "A masterpiece of storytelling, infused with heroism and adventure. This moving portrait of three brothers is a brilliantly researched and written history of America's wartime role in the Pacific." - Lynne Olson, New York Times bestselling author of Those Angry Days, "An obvious labor of love....

The characters are vividly drawn, the action riveting, and the suspense almost overwhelming." - Karl Rove, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, " The Jersey Brothers brings welcome comparisons to Laura Hildebrand's Unbroken... both masterfully written stories of endurance and sacrifice that tell bigger truths than the experience of individuals during wartime." - Naval History, "Better than fiction because it is real.... The Jersey Brothers demonstrates that a well-told story is just that, whatever its genre." - New York Journal of Books, " The Jersey Brothers shines in singularity. A blend of history, family saga and family questions, [Freeman's] first book proves to be a winning and moving success.... A decade in the making, The Jersey Brothers adds an authoritative entry to the vast canon of war literature, one that elicits cheers, tears and a few jeers.... Freeman's dogged investigative skills, the truth they reveal and her ability to render it with grace combine to make her book -- a gripping story of courage and carnage, heroism and horror, devotion and death -- unforgettable." - Richmond Times-Dispatch, "A riveting war story.

Synopsis
The extraordinary, real-life adventure of three brothers at the center of the most dramatic turning points of World War II and their mad race to change history--and save one of their own. They are three brothers, all Navy men, who end up coincidentally and extraordinarily at the epicenter of three of the war's most crucial moments. Bill is picked by Roosevelt to run his first Map Room in Washington. Benny is the gunnery and anti-aircraft officer on the USS Enterprise , one of the only carriers to escape Pearl Harbor and by the end of 1942 the last one left in the Pacific to defend against the Japanese. Barton, the youngest and least distinguished of the three, is shuffled off to the Navy Supply Corps because his mother wants him out of harm's way. But this protection plan backfires when Barton is sent to the Philippines and listed as missing-in-action after a Japanese attack. Now it is up to Bill and Benny to find and rescue him. Based on ten years of research drawn from archives around the world, interviews with fellow shipmates and POWs, and primary sources including diaries, unpublished memoirs, and letters half-forgotten in basements, The Jersey Brothers is a remarkable story of agony and triumph--from the home front to Roosevelt's White House, and Pearl Harbor to Midway and Bataan. It is the story, written with intimate, novelistic detail, of an ordinary young man who shows extraordinary courage as the Japanese do everything short of killing him. And it is, above all, a story of brotherly love: of three men finding their loyalty to each other tested under the tortures of war--and knowing that their success or failure to save their youngest brother will shape their family forever.
