- W823316905 abstract "African American War Heroes. Ed. By James B. Martin. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO, 2014. 203 pages. acid free $89 (ISBN: 978-1-61069-365-3). Ebook available (978-161069-366-0), call for pricing. James B. Martin, Associate Dean U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, editor of African American War Heroes, presents a biographical dictionary in which 80 African American men (79) and women (1--Harriet Tubman) have been ... chosen to recognize specific combat actions that resulted in recognition for heroism. (Preface, xii). Each of the war heroes profiled in this reference work have been awarded one or more military medals for valor save for three whose actions predate our nation's medal system. Still, inclusion in African American War Heroes is highly selective. Of the eighty-seven African Americans awarded the nation's highest honor fifty-four combat veterans are profiled. African American War Heroes is arranged in alphabetical order according to personal name. A fact box preceding each biography provides at-a-glance information that includes vital statistics, branch of service, arena of conflict, age at time of award, but not the title of the award or awards conveying war hero status. This is a regrettable omission the more so given the biographical dictionary's alphabetical-by-name arrangement. True, the names of those who received specific military honors are listed in the volume's index under the title of each military award but this presupposes a familiarity with these honors (Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross, Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star with Valor Device, Legion of Honor) which students, for whom this reference work is most suitable, may not possess. Each biographical sketch is signed by one of the five other contributors, three of whom share with the editor posting at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. Each essay focuses in detail on the heroic actions for which the subject received recognition, in a number of cases retroactively and/or posthumously. Black and white photographs illustrate some biographies. All entries provide a list of further readings which may include published books, journal articles, newspaper articles, and web sites with date of access noted. A concluding six-page general bibliography brings these further readings together. An introductory essay presents an overview of African Americans in the nation's military with an emphasis on combat history in line with the volume's war hero focus. …" @default.
