'Bloods' was a book written about Black GIs is Viet Nam...

The Road to Victory -- David P. Colley -- About the Red Ball Express in WWII
Benjamin O. Davis Jr.'s Autobiography. Some history about the Buffalo
Soldiers in the Philippines, too.
Brothers In Arms -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Anthony Walton -- 761st Tank
Battalion in WWII
Blood for Dignity -- David P. Colley -- The first integrated Army unit since
the Revolutionary War. Fought in WWII. 5th Platoon, K Company, 394th
Regiment, 99th Division. Fought at the Remagen bridgehead in 1945.
The Forgotten Heroes -- Clinton Cox -- Story of the Buffalo Soldiers. They
also consisted if the 24th and 25th Infantry regiments, I believe...the 24th
served in Cuba in 1898.
The Right to Fight -- Gerald Astor -- A history of AAs in the military. 18
pages of amazing photographs, including Joe Louis in a color Guard, and Lena
Horne entertaining troops at a segregated base in Arizona...
Without knowing our history, we can't be sure that we're included in the
future...space, Science Fiction...anywhere...IMHO...

Germany near the end of WWII with Patton?
