Over one million Black men and women served in World War II.

Seen through the lens of history and social science, Half American explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the epic story of african americans fighting world war ii at home and abroad emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
