reviewed Harlem's Hell Fighters: The African-American 369th Infantry in World War I on October 09, 2016 Harlem's Hell Fighters: The African-American 369th Infantry in World War I
What a fantastic bit of history. Hard to believe, 100 years feels almost like stepping into another world, a familiar one be it that. Towards the end, while the author did not specifically connect PTSD issues with returning troops from France, the evidence was hard to miss. As a veteran myself, there is some comfort knowing my generation is not alone, war, all war, leaves scars, some are visible while others are not. As for the book, Harris has put together a well researched and documented presentation on a seldom looked at era of history. I loved the connection of early jazz music and the organization the Harlem Hellfighters. I'm also glad to see American Experience have added their story to their Great War documentary. If you're a fan of history and want to learn something new, I totally recommended this book. No bent. No rhetoric. Just data, story, and documentation.
