Product Description
Documenting the racial integration of the Air Force from the end of World War II to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Alan L. Gropman contends that the service desegregated itself not for moral or political reasons but to improve military effectiveness. The Air Force Integrates details the uneven progress of a major shift in military policy and illuminates the often pragmatic motivations of those who bring about fundamental social change.
