Willing Patriots tells the story of Black Americans who served in theU.S. Army in the First World War. The book provides the reader deeply
researched treatment of the organization, combat history/battle

supporting organizations of the Services Of Supply, and the special
troops. Additionally, the work contains an exhaustive bibliography of
primary and secondary references for each unit informing the reader
