There is no shortage of books on African Americans in the military or their role in specific conflicts or campaigns. Even the so-called forgotten war in Korea (1950–1953) no longer deserves that label and is now recognized as the moment when a desperate military situation finally led to the end of racial segregation in the American armed forces. Brotherhood in Combat adds little to this familiar narrative. Jeremy P. Maxwell wants to “demonstrate the evolution of the African American experience in the Army and Marine Corps from Executive Order 9981 in 1948 through the end of the Vietnam War in 1975” and show “how blacks found equality of experience in combat” in both Korea and Vietnam (p. 18).
