In "Hidden Heroism," Robert Edgerton investigates the history of
Afro-American participation in American wars, from the French and
Indian War to the present. He argues that blacks in American
society have long-suffered from a "natural coward" stereotype that
is implicit in the racism propagated from America's earliest days,
and often intensified as blacks slowly received freedom in American
society. For instance, blacks served admirably in various wars,
returned home after their service to short-term recognition, and
then soon found themselves even more seriously entrenched in a
racist system because they were perceived as a threat to whites.
This was true, Edgerton argues, until the Civil Rights movement and
Vietnam, though the stereotypes have not been fully eradicated. In
this book, Edgerton provides an accessible and well-informed tour
through this little-known, but significant aspect of race in
American military history.
