Interesting, it rather dry history of the USArmy unit of the title. Nevertheless less, it gives the needed reminder of discrimination against Black soldiers drafted or voluntary in the services in WW2.
The narrative is slowed by the when the author’s recitation of types , calibers, and other technical specifications of the weapons in the various units and the shortcomings relative to the job they were fashioned. For the casual reader of WW 2 history there is a bit too much detail. At times it reads more like a doctoral thesis than a popular history, dry and stiff.
Summary, not exactly what I expected, but ok.
