The Right to Fight: A History of African Americans in the Military
I always enjoy a good WW2 book, and while I recommend Black Warriors - I was slightly disappointed - as I was expecting more. I had thought it would be like Band of Brothers, with personal interactions between comrades. Instead, it was very much a chronological retelling of events. The heroic actions from the only-negro infantry division - which fought their way through Italy in 1944-45 and rooted out the Nazis in the mountainous terrain and horrific weather was the core to the story and the reason I wanted to read. Their actions are definitely worth reading about - so please do - I only wanted to hear of it more in Ivan Houston's emotion versus his retelling. The personal interactions were left out, yet I did get his frustration that their unit was considered second class citizens.
