They went by many names, but the world came to know them best as
the Harlem Hellfighters. Two thousand strong, these black Americans
from New York picked up brass instruments--under the leadership of
famed bandleader and lieutenant James Reese Europe--to take the
musical sound of Harlem into the heart of war. From the creators of
the 2012 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book, And the Soldiers
Sang, this remarkable narrative nonfiction rendering of WWI -- and
American -- history uses free-verse poetry and captivating art to
tell century-old story of hellish combat, racist times, rare
courage, and inspired music.
