A very powerful account of a significant aspect of recent American military history. - Journal of Military History , Highly recommended. - Library Journal , James E. Westheider persuasively argues that black soldiers were the key factor in bringing about a more egalitarian military. This book significantly advances our understanding of both race relations and armed forces. -Charles Moskos, Northwestern University Westheider has researched very thoroughly-an effort including extensive interviews with Vietnam veterans-and he possesses a rare gift for narrative that makes the result of all this research eminently readable. A highly desirable addition for both African American studies and military affairs collections. . . . [an] invaluable history. - Booklist , With this meticulous investigation of how institutional racism operated in the military of the 1960s and 70s, James Westheider provides us with a model for making sense of institutional sexism in the Tailhook-era military. -Cynthia Enloe, author of The Morning After: Sexual Politics at the End of the Cold War
