In World War I, 104 African American doctors joined the United
States Army to care for the 40,000 men of the 92nd and 93rd
Divisions, the Army's only black combat units. The infantry
regiments of the 93rd arrived first and were turned over to the
French to fill gaps in their decimated lines. The 92nd Division
came later and fought alongside other American units. Some of those
doctors rose to prominence; others died young or later succumbed to
the economic and social challenges of the times. Beginning with
their assignment to the Medical Officers Training Camp (Colored) -
the only one in U.S. history - this book covers the early years,
education and war experiences of these physicians, as well as their
careers in the black communities of early 20th century America.
