Title: Great addition to "stuff we should have been taught."
Review: A timely book that adds to current discussions about race. Like the story of La Amistad, Vernon Baker's story is one that should have been heard by a lot more people a lot sooner. Baker and Olsen make us understand what it was like to be a black soldier in a white man's army and just as importantly, the unglamorous difficulties of being a soldier in often no-win situations.The story weaves between taught World War II battle scenes to growing up in small-town Wyoming. If you like stories about real people of character who unflinchingly tell a tale, you will like this book. It adds yet another refreshing perspective not only to the race discussion, but the realities of war.<B>
