Review of The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks

This graphic novel covers an important part in our country's history that is too little known about. It tells the story of the 369th Infantry Regiment, an all black unit, that fought in World War I. They faced racial discrimination at home and abroad. This unit was called "the "Harlem Hellfighters" by the Germans. They were known for their bravery and willingness to give all they had to the fight. Canaan White's illustrations of the horrors of war really make an impact on the story. They bring home the conditions that these men had to survive under.
