On June 1, 1942, the United States Marine Corps broke a 144-year tradition and enlisted the first black Marines. Three months later, more than 400 black volunteers began their training as members of the 51st Composite Defense Battalion at Montford Point. Compiled from personal interviews, this volume takes an in-depth look at the men who braved the colour barrier and became the first black Marines.
