Providing a rare depiction of the African American experience in World War I, this novel by Victor Daly, a decorated African American veteran, was originally published in 1932. An introduction
by David A. Davis (southern studies, Mercer U) outlines the plot, provides contextual information and details the work's journey from relative obscurity to its rediscovery in the late nineteen
sixties. In addition to the text of the novel, this volume includes three additional short stories published in The Crisis in the 1930s and an interview with the author from 1985. This work
will appeal to readers interested in African American literature and veteran's perspectives on war. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
