Summary
Provides an account of the experiences of the African American 24th Infantry Regiment, which was stigmatized for its deficiencies while its accomplishments passed largely into oblivion. The authors reveal that the 24th suffered from a virulent racial prejudice that ate incessantly at the bonds of unit cohesion and that hindered the emergence of effective leadership.
