Description

Discover the untold history of African American leadership in the United States Armed Forces. Following the integration of military services in 1948, Black service members began a steady rise through the ranks. While the number of Black officers remained lower than the total percentage of African Americans in the military, their impact was significant. This book examines the experiences of these reformers from 1946 to 1973. It covers a wide range of perspectives, from generals serving in the Pentagon and during the Vietnam War to the daily lives of enlisted servicemen and the experiences of officers' wives. For readers interested in military history and social change, this work provides a detailed look at a period of transition and advancement that has largely gone unreported until now.
