The Invisible Soldier: The Experience of the Black Soldier, World War II Paperback - 1987

by Foreword by Howard Donovan Queen; Mary Penick Motley (Editor)


From the publisher

By turns shocking, nightmarish, despairing, bitterly ironic, and, in rare instances, full of laughter, the fifty-five oral histories in The Invisible Soldier add a significant chapter to black history. The interviews disclose the brutality of the unseen wars black servicemen fought when confronted with the official army policy of segregation and by attitudes in southern communities, as well as overseas.
