“I [am] a direct descendant of all the black men and women who have served the nation in uniform. I will never forget my debt to them.” —General Colin L. Powell, former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Howard University Commencement, 1994
“Because the author is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War, the graphic battle scenes feature a gritty, realistic edge. The result is a stirring family saga as well as a compelling look at the controversy surrounding the conflict in Vietnam, especially as it applied to the disproportionate number of black soldiers involved.” —Booklist
