We’re excited to host author Gene Bétit and share his new book, Unsung Patriots. It’s one of the last overlooked parts of American military history: the significant role African Americans played in the wars of America. Their story is more than just the 54th Massachusetts in the Civil War, more than just a tank battalion in World War II. African Americans contributed to every war in American history. Gene Bétit tells this important story with verve and gusto, as well as respect.
