Courage Has No Color:  The True Story of the Triple Nickles
by Tanya Lee Stone

This fascinating book looks at the role of African Americans in the military through the lens of the untold story of the Triple Nickles as they become America's first black paratroopers and fought a little-known World War II attack on the American West by the Japanese. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, in the words of First Sergeant Walter Morris, "proved that the color of a man had nothing to do with his ability."
