Description

“An exceptionally well-researched, lovingly crafted, and vital tribute to unsung American heroes.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

World War II is raging, and thousands of American soldiers are fighting in another country against the injustices brought on by Hitler. Back at the home front, discrimination against African American citizens plays out as much on Main Street as within the military. Tanya Lee Stone examines the little-known history of the Triple Nickles, The united states’s first black paratroopers, who fought in an attack at the American West by the Japanese. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, within the words of First Sergeant Walter Morris, “proved that the colour of a man had nothing to do together with his ability.”
Front matter features a foreword by Ashley Bryan. Back matter includes an writer’s note, an appendix, a time line, source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
