THE LONG ROAD TO THE STAR: Benjamin O. Davis Sr. and the Battle to Change America's Segregated Army: 1 - Brossura
Libro 1 di 2: The Davis Military Legacy
Sinossi
The United States Army gave Benjamin O. Davis Sr. every reason to disappear. Instead, he endured long enough to change it.
Davis entered military service when Black officers were scarcely tolerated and advancement was carefully controlled. Over more than four decades, he faced segregated commands, restricted assignments, blocked professional opportunities, and the constant expectation that one mistake could be used against every Black soldier seeking to lead.
Yet Davis mastered the institution that tried to contain him. From the cavalry frontier and military instruction to wartime inspections and service in Washington, he built an unassailable record of discipline, judgment, and command. In 1940, he became the first Black general officer in the United States Army—but the star on his shoulder represented both a personal triumph and a nation’s unfinished struggle.
The Long Road to the Star presents an accessible, illustrated account of Davis’s life, his complicated relationship with the segregated Army, and the political and personal cost of becoming a historic first. Featuring historically grounded illustrations, archival material, maps, military documents, and period newspaper coverage, this is the story of a leader who changed the institution by refusing to let it erase him.
