Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War

Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War: The Undaunted 369th Regiment and the African American Quest for Equality is a book co-authored by John H. Morrow Jr. and Jeffrey T. Sammons.

The book also explores the racial climate in the era and how the 369th Regiment fits into the larger narrative of the African American campaign for equality in America.

It is both a reference book and an important historical narrative that lays the ground for the civil rights movement.” “This book is the definitive history of the 369th Regiment in World War I, an outstanding black infantry regiment comprised of 3,000 men led by a white command element.

It is the most complete, scholarly, and fully documented account of this famous (and underpublicized) unit, unlikely to be superseded."

“Belongs on the shelf of any serious student of the 15th/369th Regiment, American involvement in World War I, race relations in the early twentieth century, and African American history.”
