Yellow boards with black lettering on the spine. 199 informative and historical pages! "When black journalist Vincent "Roi" Ottley was assigned to cover the European theater in World War II, he provided a perspective shared by few other war correspondents. But what he really saw has taken more than sixty years to come to light. Already famous as the author of New World A-Coming?in which he decried the hypocrisy of America fighting for freedom in Europe while denying it to blacks at home?Ottley was sent to cover the experiences of African American soldiers that neither white journalists nor the American military felt obliged to report. But while his dispatches documented this assignment, his personal diary reveals a different war?one that included mess hall brawls between Southern white soldiers and their black counterparts, the British public's ignorance toward their own black soldiers, and other subtle glimpses of wartime life that never made it into print.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When black journalist Vincent Roi Ottley was assigned to cover the European theatre in World War II, he provided a perspective shared by few other war correspondents. But what he really saw has taken more than sixty years to come to light. Already famous as the author of New World A-Comingin which he decried the hypocrisy of America fighting for freedom in Europe while denying it to blacks at homeOttley was sent to cover the experiences of African American soldiers that neither white journalists nor the American military felt obliged to report. But while his dispatches documented this assignment, his personal diary reveals a different warone that included mess hall brawls between Southern white soldiers and their black counterparts, the British publics ignorance toward their own black soldiers, and other subtle glimpses of wartime life that never made it into print. That journal remained buried in a collection of Ottleys papers at St. Bonaventure University until Mark Huddle discovered it in the schools archives. With this book, he offers us a new look at World War II as he brings a forgotten figure out of historys shadow. While Ottley may have had an agenda in his published articles of proving the worth of black soldiers, his diary is rich in personal reflectionsfrom his fears while enduring a bombing raid in London to his true feelings about fellow reporters to his encounters with celebrities such as Ernest Hemingway and Edward R. Murrow. And at every turn Ottley kept a keen eye on race issues, revealing a highly political as well as entertaining writer while reflecting a growing awareness that the African American freedom movement was part of a larger international struggle by peoples of colour against Western imperialism. Huddles introduction frames Ottleys career and contributions, and his annotations throughout the book provide additional context to the reporters experiences. Huddle also includes thirteen of Ottleys published dispatches to demonstrate the differences between his personal musings and his professional output. The publication of this lost diary restores the reputation of a trailblazing figure, showing that Roi Ottley was both a brilliant writer and one of Americas keenest observers of race issues. It offers all readers interested in race relations or World War II a more nuanced picture of life during that conflict from a perspective rarely encountered. Uncovers the forgotten World War II diary of journalist Roi Ottley, who was the first African American correspondent to cover the war for major American newspapers. Establishes Ottley as a key figure in both American journalism and the Civil Rights movement. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
