THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN & BEYOND: The Road to Equality by D. G. Styles 2013 HC NEW

Description: THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN & BEYOND: The Road to Equality by David G. Styles. NEW First Edition unstated hardcover, 2013. The story of the African American quest for equality through service in the American military. This narrative traces the African American soldier from the days of the Revolutionary War through to the 21st Century. It follows the struggle during the Civil War, where 200,000 African American slaves and free men fought on both sides in return for the promise of freedom for all. In World War I, over 500 African American soldiers were awarded the Croix de Guerre, France's highest award for valor. World War II then brought the first all-black-crewed fighter squadron, the 99th, followed by the 332nd Fighter Group, the most highly decorated group of men in their theaters of war. Political change finally brought desegregation to the Armed Forces by means of President Harry Truman's Executive Order 9981, which preceded the Civil Rights Act by 20 years. Since President Lyndon Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act into law, African Americans have finally risen to the top in their chosen military careers - four-star generals, astronauts and ultimately an African American President. This is that story. NEW First Edition unstated hardcover, unread with pages and edges clean and unmarked. Binding tight. Jacket shows no wear but does have minor scuffing from storage. No tears. 8.5" x 9.5." Photos, illustrations, and text. 295 pgs.
