Since the Revolutionary War, Muslim Americans have served in the
United States military, risking their lives to defend a country
that increasingly looks at them with suspicion and fear. In Muslim
Americans in the Military: Centuries of Service, Edward E. Curtis
illuminates the long history of Muslim service members who have
defended their country and struggled to practice their faith.
Profiling soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors since the dawn of
our country, Curtis showcases the real stories of Muslim Americans,
from Omer Otmen, who fought fiercely against German forces during
World War I, to Captain Humayun Khan, who gave his life in Iraq in
2004. These true stories contradict the narratives of hate and fear
that have dominated recent headlines, revealing the contributions
and sacrifices that these soldiers have made to the United States.
