Description
"Told in their own words, the stories in this book of fifty men and women from two segregated black infantry divisions will change the way we think about World War II. These black "citizen soldiers" fought on two fronts - against a fascist enemy abroad and against the racial segregation pervasive in 1940s America, including the U.S. Army.". "Everyday accounts of army life show us what emboldened these individuals to return to America and change its social fabric. Some became college presidents, while others spurred their sons and daughters into the battle for civil rights at a pivotal time in American history."--BOOK JACKET.
