"John A. Williams is exhaustive and accurate in his historical research of the significant role played by African Americans in the military. Captain Blackman is a U.S. soldier in Vietnam who becomes seriously wounded. As he drifts in and out of consciousness he hallucinates back in time as a soldier in each of America's wars from 1775 to 1975."--BOOK JACKET.
