The Negro in the Armed Forces.

Important wartime study of African Americans in the U.S. military, analyzing their history, status, and contributions

---

First edition of this wartime patriotic book highlighting African Americans in the U.S. military. Chapters explore the military history and traditions of Black service members, “some important consideration of the environment and the characteristics of the Negro,” the present status of African Americans in the Armed Forces, the “potential value and status of the Negro,” and a concluding chapter discussing the ultimate goal of full integration of Black Americans into the military.

In their 1990 Catalog, Associated Publishers described this title as a “treatment of the Negro in the armed forces, past and present. It is by no means a sentimental discussion of the Negro and his place in society. On the contrary, the approach is scholarly and practical, and the study is carefully documented. In his conclusions and in the solutions he offers, the author speaks with impressive authority, for in the course of his duties aboard ship, he made observations and conducted experiments which provide evidence that the Negro is the equal of his white comrades in intelligence, skill, and courage when afforded corresponding opportunities for education and participation.” (Associated Publishers)
