Harlem Hellfighters written by Max Brooks Illustrated by Caanan White

This flew by like a good movie. I'd not read a graphic novel for a while and whilst I'd have loved some color on the pages the story and the art work were just outstanding. Hellfighters is the story of he only black American soldiers in WW1 who were such fierce victims of racism on their own shores hat the only way they could answer the call they felt and fight for democracy was to fight along side the French. They tore it up, never losing a trench, never losing someone to capture. Dark, gritty, inspiring and tragic it's worthy of a read and to be passed on so others know the story.
