The book highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of African American soldiers and sailors throughout U.S. military history, from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism. It reveals stories of heroic figures like Captain David Lamson, who played a crucial role near Concord, and the "buffalo soldiers" who aided Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill. By addressing the gaps in traditional military histories, it seeks to honor the bravery and impact of these servicemen, providing a richer understanding of their legacy.
