Black Military in WW I: Kelly Miller's History of the Negro in the World War

Description: The actual cover title of this hardback book is "Kelly Miller's Authentic History of the Negro in the World War", as originally published in 1919 by the Austin Jenkins Company. The titles of later editions of this book were published under a longer title version, which can be found on the title page of this first edition, i.e. "Kelly Miller's Authentic History of the World War for Human Rights: An Intensely Human and Brilliant Account of the World War; Why America Entered the Conflict ; What the Allies Fought For; And the Thrilling Account of the Important Part Taken by the Negro in the Tragic Defeat of Germany; The Downfall of Autocracy, and Complete Victory for the Cause of Righteousness and Freedom... ". Thus, while the content covers military affairs both in the USA and in Europe, the book nonetheless maintains a sharp focus on providing a comprehensive account of the role of African American soldiers in World War I. There is a wide range of topics from several different contributors in addition to that of educator, essayist, and author Kelly Miller. These contributions are supplemented by historic documents as well as a profusion of historic photographs, some in color. This is not ex-library book, nor a print- on demand copy (such as subsequent editions which are based on the later 1920 printed edition). This rare and valuable historic first edition is a must-have for the amateur researchers and professional historians alike who have an interest in the role played by African Americans in World War I.
