About this product

Product Information

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, thousands of African-American men volunteered to fight for a country that granted them only limited civil rights. Many from New York City joined the 15th N.Y. Infantry, a National Guard regiment later designated the 369th U.S. Infantry. Led by mostly inexperienced white and black officers, these men not only received little instruction at their training camp in South Carolina but were frequent victims of racial harassment from both civilians and their white comrades. Once in France, they initially served as laborers, all while chafing to prove their worth as American soldiers. Then they got their chance. The 369th became one of the few U.S. units that American commanding general John J. Pershing agreed to let serve under French command. Donning French uniforms and taking up French rifles, the men of the 369th fought valiantly alongside French Moroccans and held one of the widest sectors on the Western Front. The entire regiment was awarded the Croix de Guerre, the French government's highest military honor. Stephen L. Harris's accounts of the valor of a number of individual soldiers make for exciting reading, especially that of Henry Johnson, who defended himself against an entire German squad with a large knife. After reading this book, you will know why the Germans feared the black men of the 369th and why the French called them "hell fighters."

The story of e~Harleme(tm)s Hell Fighterse(tm) is an important piece of history, both for America and the world., "The story of James Reese Europe and the Hell Fighters is one of the best I know, and here it is told superbly. It is a story of bravery and courage, creativity and controversy, tragedy and transcendence. It remnds us, in nearly every line, of the extraordinary contributions of African Americans have made-not just to American life, but to the very essence of what it means to be an American." --Ken Burns, award-winning documentary filmmaker "Very good . . . Useful not only to students of African-American history, but also to the general student of the American role in the Great War." --The NYMAS Review (NY Military Affairs Symposium) "The story of Harlem's Hell Fighters' is an important piece of history, both for American and the world." --"From the foreword by Rod Paschall, editor of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History, The story of 'Harlem's Hell Fighters' is an important piece of history, both for America and the world., Very good . . .
