For Race and Country : The Life and Career of Colonel Charles Young

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Young's story deserves the widest possible telling. The injustice done him should not be forgotten....Young died with his boots on, but it was not the just finish to his exemplary life that he deserved. It is a life that comes alive again in Kilroy's 183 pages.”–The Plain Dealer, Ohio

Book Description
Charles Young served as the highest-ranking African American officer in the U.S. Army until 1917. During his career, he served on the western frontier, in the Philippines, and in Mexico, and as military attache to both Haiti and Liberia. Young was also an accomplished linguist, a musician and composer, a published author, and an active member of the black intelligentsia. The author presents a history of Young's life, which transcends the fields of military, diplomatic, and African American history.
