Review:
"[In] a survey of the attempts by African-Americans to serve their country in an often reluctant military, Lt. Col. (ret.) Lanning...traces the major contributions of black soldiers and sailers, beginning with the 5,000 who served in the Revolutionary War and carrying the narrative forward to their successors in Desert Storm....A vivid history revealing the extraordinary bravery and crucial roles of blacks in the American military."
