Abstract:
"The political, economic and social landscapes of the United States in the early 1940s were split by one overriding factor--race. This volume explores the ways in which this extended to military forces and the impact that segregation had on World War II and second-class stigma which remained in spite of the proven valor of 'colored' units"--Provided by publisher.
