The Employment of Negro Troops

The Employment of Negro Troops is a book by Ulysses Lee about the service of African Americans in World War II.

[1] His book on the subject by the same title was published in 1966 by the Office of the Chief of Military History in Washington D.C. in 1966.

[4] The Employment of Negro Troops was largely written between 1947 and 1951 but not published (in somewhat altered/edited form) until a decade later.

[5] Robert R. Kirsch, the Los Angeles Times book editor, called it "incisive and penetrating...takes up the hard questions and does not compromise on the answers.

"[6] The University Press of the Pacific republished the book in 2004 calling it a landmark study.
