Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is about a white Naval Officer who, figuratively speaking, placed his foot on the neck of a black sailor until that sailor screamed for help. But for Ernie Davis Jr., no help ever came.

The author's military records shine a bright spotlight on a plot conceived and successfully initiated by a white naval officer who lied incessantly about Mr. Davis' conduct and military background, falsified personnel records, and triggered a military trial resulting in the author's 'undesirable' discharge from the military. Everything that happened to the author while in the Navy was based on monumental lies by one individual as well as a failure in the Navy system of justice.…
