From bestselling author Max Brooks, the riveting story of the highly
decorated, barrier-breaking, historic black regiment--the Harlem
Hellfighters
In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment marched home triumphantly from
World War I. They had spent more time in combat than any other American
unit, never losing a foot of ground to the enemy, or a man to capture,
and winning countless decorations. Though they returned as heroes, this
African American unit faced tremendous discrimination, even from their
own government. The Harlem Hellfighters, as the Germans called them,
fought courageously on--and off--the battlefield to make Europe, and
America, safe for democracy.
In THE HARLEM HELLFIGHTERS, bestselling author Max Brooks and
acclaimed illustrator Caanan White bring this history to life. From the
enlistment lines in Harlem to the training camp at Spartanburg, South
Carolina, to the trenches in France, they tell the heroic story of the
369th in an action-packed and powerful tale of honor and heart.
