Book Reviews of Harlem's Hell Fighters: The African-American 369th Infantry in World War I
Book Review: Amazing Response After Prejudice
Summary: 5 Stars
I see that the clerics in Iraq want to impose all kinds of contraints on what women can do in their society. They can't seem to understand that this eliminates half of the potential workforce in one step. And for many of our years we eliminated a large source of our workforce by arbitrarily holding down African-Americans.
The truth is that African-Americans whatever they were called at the time played important parts in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War (10% or the Northern Army), and the Indian wars later on (the Buffalo Soldiers).
This is the first book that I've seen that talks about an African-American combat unit in the First World War. It continues to astound me to see what they had to endure in the form of prejudice before they could even go over and die for their country.
This is an important part of our military and cultural history that deserves wide telling. Highly Recommended.
