In World War I; 104 African American doctors joined the United States Army to care for the 40;000 men of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions; the Army's only black combat units. The infantry regiments of the 93rd arrived first and were turned over to the French to fill gaps in their decimated lines. The 92nd Division came later and fought alongside other American units. Some of those doctors rose to prominence; others died young or later succumbed to the economic and social challenges of the times. Beginning with their assignment to the Medical Officers Training Camp (Colored)--the only one in U.S. history--this book covers the early years; education and war experiences of these physicians; as well as their careers in the black communities of early 20th century America.

GalachoGreat work about this tank with minor errors: The DTN-10 Engine was a 4 stroke Diesel engine with the 10 cylinders arranged in two parallel rows of 5; not in V and a 2 stroke engine as stated in the book; there is a photograph of it in the monumental work of Shirokorad and others on the history of soviet tanks 1946-1965. The special torsion bar suspension of the tank that is mentioned but no showed; there is also a drawing in Shirokorad book and in other russian publications.In general; the book is well written; well documented and edited: I remark the quality of interior photographs of the tank.Regarding Obiekt 279 I would like more details about this remarkable design.The book is worth of buying and I hope that many works on the subject will arrive in the future with the same level of quality.

An excellant look at the last Soviet Heavy TankBy George W PrescottThe Soviet T-10 heavy tank was one of the hobgoblins of NATO Land Forces in the 1950s and 1960s - big gun; heavy armor; not often seen. James Kinnear lifts the veil of mystery to tell the story of the last Soviet heavy tank; and he does it very well. He not merely looks at the tank per se; but also how it came to be; and the offshoots; built and unbuilt; of the T-10. Well illustrated with both pictures and drawings; this book will be of great interest to the person interested in Soviet armored vehicles.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I highly recommend this bookBy P. McDowellI prefer books on U.S. / German tanks but this book on a Soviet heavy tank is magnificent - lots of photos but also lots of technical history text. I highly recommend this book.
