Description
In prose the Washington Post hailed as "Wolfean or Whitmanesque, " Peery writes eloquently of the passions that led him to fight abroad for opportunities denied him at home. Whether describing his childhood in rural Minnesota or his tour of duty as a soldier in the all-black 93rd Infantry Division, Peery's is an intimate account of one soldier's political awakening.
