Descrição: During the Korean War, the author argues, rhe trend of black soldiers identifying with the American cause and eschewing "a race-based interpretation of U.S. policy" continued despite the bitter experience of rhe TwentyFourth Infantry Regiment, which suffered terrible losses early in the war due to deficiencies in training, equipment, and leadership (p. 133). Because of rhe economic benefits and job security offered by the military, many black soldiers opted to stay in the army after the Korean War and later went on to fight in Vietnam.
