商品簡介
To fill a gap in the record of the 400-year history of US military service, a widely-published author introduces some 250 entries chronicling and analyzing the often contradictory roles of African-Americans in battles from pre-Revolutionary days to the current Gulf War. With illustrated entries on individuals and themes, coverage extends from the Abraham Lincoln Battalion who fought in the Spanish Civil War to Major Charles Young, who nearly became the first African-American general in World War I. Vol. 2 contains an extensive chronology, records of armed services branches, medal of honor winners, military sites of African- American significance by state, and a cumulative index.
