Fighting in the Jim Crow Army Black Men and Women Remember World War II

The voices throughout this book offer a glimpse into the mostly unknown story of two African American combat divisions as they experienced military service during World War II. The soldiers of the 92nd and 93rd Infantry Divisions speak of segregation in the military and racial attitudes in army facilities stateside and abroad. Derived from several years of research by historian Maggi M. Morehouse, the historical account is built around personal interviews and correspondence with participants, National Archive research, as well as military archive materials, all augmented with historical and recent photographs.
