All That We Can Be: Black Leadership And Racial Integration The Army Way

by Charles C. Moskos, John Sibley Butler

The foremost autorities on race relations in the armed forces recount the previously untold success story of how the U.S. Army became the most integrated institution in America. Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler observe that the Army is the only place in America where blacks routinely boss around whites, and in this book they lay out the path by which the Army has promoted excellence across racial lines, while also showing how this military model can be adapted to fit the needs of civilian society. The Army way offers hope for our nation in a troubled time, and by following its example, Americans of all races can truly be all that we can be.

[John Sorensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well written book that discusses why the Army should be used as a model for race relations in other areas of society. This book also looks at combat deaths among blacks during wars. A reread if you are interested in race relations.
