A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment -
the Harlem Hellfighters as the Germans called them - marched home
triumphantly from World War I. They had spent more time in combat
than any other American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the
enemy and winning countless decorations. Though they returned home
from the trenches of France as heroes, this overlooked that the
African American unit faced tremendous discrimination, even from
their own government. Based on true events and featuring artwork
from acclaimed illustrator Caanan White, The Harlem Hellfighters
delivers an action-packed and powerful story of how a group of
exceptional individuals showed extraordinary courage, honour and
heart in the face of terrible prejudice and in the midst of the
unprecedented horrors of the Great War.
From bestselling author Max Brooks, the riveting story of the
highly decorated, barrier-breaking, historic black regiment--the
Harlem Hellfighters
In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment marched home triumphantly from
World War I. They had spent more time in combat than any other
American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the enemy, or a man
to capture, and winning countless decorations. Though they returned
as heroes, this African American unit faced tremendous
discrimination, even from their own government. The Harlem
Hellfighters, as the Germans called them, fought courageously
on--and off--the battlefield to make Europe, and America, safe for
democracy.
In THE HARLEM HELLFIGHTERS, bestselling author Max Brooks and
acclaimed illustrator Caanan White bring this history to life. From
the enlistment lines in Harlem to the training camp at Spartanburg,
South Carolina, to the trenches in France, they tell the heroic
story of the 369th in an action-packed and powerful tale of honor
and heart.
