General Patton’s Heroic African American WWII Battalions (Four True Accounts)
. . . “The United States and segregated America, at the time, would have eaten their words in utter disbelief. We are Black, and we all went in — and came out — fighting.”
Major General (Retired) Peter J. Gravett’s latest book, Battling While Black, takes readers on an eye-opening, thought-provoking journey back to war-torn WWII Europe, where four heroic, all-Black military units epically battled the Nazi regime, despite the challenges of hailing from their own segregated America.
Major General Gravett touches on his own military career as the first Black Major General in the U.S. Army National Guard and how these brave, all-Black units inspired his service. #blackhistory #military #militarylife #newbookalert #comingsoon #blackowned #blackownedbusiness #blackexcellence #africanamerican #WWII #wwiihistory
