Inhaltsangabe

Ulysses Lee’s The Employment of Negro Troops has been long and widely recognized as a standard work on the subject. Although revised and consolidated before publication, the study was written largely between 1947 and 1951. If the now much-cited title has an echo of an earlier period, that very echo testifies to the book’s rather remarkable twofold achievement; that Lee wrote it when he did, well before the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and that is reputation - for authority and objectivity - has endured so well.This is a landmark study in military and social history. As a key source for understanding the integration of the Army, Dr. Lee’s work eminently deserves a continuing readership.
