Courage Has No Color: The True Story of the Triple Nickles, America's First Black Paratroopers by Tanya Lee StoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have read and seen movies about the famous Tuskeegee Airmen, but I was unfamiliar with the Triple Nickles, America's first Black paratroopers. This book is filled with lots of great photos, and lots of good information that almost reads like a novel. The bravery of the men in and off of the military bases shines forth within these pages. The author lets the reader know a little of the prehistory of race relations in America around the time World War II begins, and how narrow-minded most people in the military were during the war. The author follows these men to the present, and lets us know what they are thinking today as they look back on their experiences.
