The Golden Thirteen: Recollections of the First Black Naval OfficersBy ZephyrThis book is particularly precious to me; learning more of the history of what these men experienced has been important to me and to my ability to encourage my grandson to be a responsible person in our society--given the sacrifices that were made by others; long gone. This historical accounting is not so very far from my lifetime; as I am aware of and in contact with some of the names of persons mentioned in this book.The courage and determination of these men are astounding; as they traverse the undercurrents; undertow; and waves of racism in order to emerge the splendid officers they became.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good ReadBy Iva MarshallI purchased this book for my husband. He enjoyed it; but wondered what happened to the men who passed the course; but did not get promoted; and why one was promoted to a Warrant Officer and not a Commission Officer? Book just left some unanswered questions that would have made the read much clearer.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
