Hightlighting the period between the Depression and the 1950s, Wynn covers his subject from not only the perspective of African Americans as soldiers but also from the effect the war had on their economic situation, the psychological impact, and how they were portrayed in the films and books of the time. The result, said the American History Review , is an "intelligent synthesis." This update to the 1977 original contains a new epilog in which Wynn muses on the war as a catalyst for African American civil rights.
