The US Army has become the most successfully integrated institution in America - from the ranks of the lowliest privates to the highest level of command. What has made the Army's experience so striking is that this success was achieved without resorting to numerical quotas or manipulation of test scores, nor has the promotion of black officers engendered the racial resentment that has become all to common in business, government, and higher education. This book reveals how the Army created such a smoothly functioning system, how it works, and how this military model can be adapted to fit the needs of civilian society.

About this title

Synopsis

The foremost autorities on race relations in the armed forces recount the previously untold success story of how the U.S. Army became the most integrated institution in America. Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler observe that the Army is the only place in America where blacks routinely boss around whites, and in this book they lay out the path by which the Army has promoted excellence across racial lines, while also showing how this military model can be adapted to fit the needs of civilian society. The Army way offers hope for our nation in a troubled time, and by following its example, Americans of all races can truly be all that we can be.
