Courage Has No Color: the true story of the Triple Nickles / Tanya Lee Stone / 119 pages

It's official....I am converted to be a lover of narrative non-fiction!  Tanya Lee Stone nails it with this book about the first black paratroopers.  She uses first person accounts, photos, and extensive research to not only tell the story of the Triple Nickles but to also use their story to help explain integration of the armed forces during World War II.  She makes this time period come alive.  You feel the pride, resentment, anger, and determination of these soldiers as they bore the insults and racism of the military as they became an elite unit of paratroopers.  Thank you Tanya Lee Stone for sharing this little known story of our history.  Highly recommended for all ages.
