Forgotten: The Untold Story of D-Day's Black Heroes, at Home and at War by Linda HervieuxMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is an in-depth look at the pervasive race discrimination in the American military during the World Wars, and provides the tales of some of the young black men involved in the D-Day attack. These men were extraordinarily resilient and brave heroes, and few received any of the honors that they were due. My only complaint is that there wasn't as much focus on the men as on the general racist climate, but overall this was still an original look at Barrage Balloon Battalions and their impact on D-Day.
I received an Advance Review Copy of this book.
