Summary

"Individual, personal accounts of life and service in what were called the "Colored Battalions" are almost non-existent. Those who served in these battalions were unsung heroes of the Allies' fight for freedom and rights for all, yet they were often sacrificed along the way to attaining those goals. At long last, their story is told."--BOOK JACKET.
