by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anthony Walton '82 (Broadway)
The all-black battalion that served on the front lines in the
Battle of the Bulge during World War II finally gets its due in
this military history that surveys both the battles and the racism
the men fought.
The book details the training the men in the battalion received,
chronicles the battles they were involved in, their role in the
liberation of the Mauthausen concentration camp in Germany and
their demobilization after the war.
