The US Army's First, Last, and Only All-Black Rangers: The 2d Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) in the Korean War, 1950-1951

This is a brilliant book, written by Edward L. Posey, US ARMY, RETIRED MSGT. America just decided, not to say anything about,African-American, Airbnb Rangers, during the Korean War. They did the impossible, and just like that,they were forgotten, by our country! I encourage those, who have a hunger for the truth, to purchase this book. It's good to know who the real heroes were. This us an exceptional read!

This was an excellent read and I've had the great pleasure of meeting the author Edward Posey, who was also inducted in the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame. Getting first hand knowledge of his experiences along with that of other original members in this profound, elite group of soldiers in battle in Munsan-ni was extraordinary...mind-blowing!! There should be a movie about these incredible soldiers....RIP Ranger Posey🙏

The book had a great precision to it, and wasn't afraid to go beyond the high standard of its participants to showcase the true efforts and encounters with racism faced by the 2nd Rangers. Written by a member of the 2d Rangers, it does read a bit like a military report, however, I liked that.

Excellent book uncovering the important groundbreaking role that “men of color” played in the Korean Conflict . I personally grew up with one of the notables being a father figure for me in the 60’s ( he was a Scoutmaster ). I gave a copy of this book to several members of this BSA troop. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Korean War in general or in the role that “ Men of Color “played in our military .

My father, who died in 2007, was discussed in the book. His name is James E. Freeman, Sr. (referred to as Freeman in the book). He was part of the first and only black paratrooper-rangers unit to go to Korea. I'm extremely proud of his sacrifice and his comrades sacrifices to our country. The book is well written. In the early 1990s, my husband and I took my parents to Fort Benning, GA to visit and on one of the plaques, there was detail of a particular battle in which he and his troops fought. That was the first time I saw tears in my father's eyes. He said one of his men died in his arms. The book is excellent for anyone who loves history.

Learn about HISTORY, not HIS STORY. I as a ARMY vet love this book. Talk about trailblazers. This needs to be a movie.

Excellent Reading For All. Good men doing their job as they were well trained to do. A credit to all races. Nothing else to say.

Being a history buff this one like Patton's Panthers fit the bill.
