This review is from: Black Soldier, White Army: The 24th Infantry Regiment in Korea (Paperback)

I am of the age that I knew many of men of the 24th. I have heard them tell how they were singled out and maligned. My brother-in-law died in Korea because of white officers incompetence and white troops buging out. Finaly a good reviw of all of the troups.

This is a very detailed book about the Korean War. It's quite interesting for History buffs and people interested in segregation/desegregation. It reveals some real truths about the war and the men who fought, both black and white.
