The Sable Arm: Black Troops in the Union Army, 1861-1865 (Modern War Studies)
Editorial Reviews
Civil War Times Illustrated
"One of the one hundred best books ever written on the Civil War."
Book Description
A bona fide classic, The Sable Arm was the first work to fully chronicle the remarkable story of the nearly 180,000 black troops who served in the Union army. This work paved the way for the exploration of the black military experience in other wars. This edition, with a new foreword by Herman Hattaway and bibliographical essay by the author, makes available once again a pioneering work that will be especially useful for scholars and students of Civil War, black, and military history.
