James Peters provides to both the amateur and professional historian, an excellent study of the early struggles of African American WWII veterans prior to and after the desegregation of the navy. Excellent detail is provided and supported by first hand accounts, including appendices transcribing minutes of the reunion of the veterans as well as anecdotes from the author, who enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942.
