Liberators

Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II, by Potter, Miles and Rosenblum (NY: Harcourt Brace, 1992), 303 pages, numerous photos, half in duotone. Companion volume to the PBS television documentary about the role of the black soldier in World War II. Both sparked a controversy by claims that black troops (particularly of the 761st Tank Battalion) were the first to liberate Buchenwald (later editions of this book contained an errata sheet acknowledging the debate.)
