Courage Has No Color The True Story of the Triple Nickles America's First Black Paratroopers, written by Tanya Lee Stone, tells the story of the first black paratroopers in the United States Army during World War II. These soldiers were part of the 5555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, also known as the Triple Nickles, who were trained to jump from planes into combat zones. The battalion was formed in 1942 and consisted entirely of African American soldiers, many of whom had never seen snow before let alone parachuted onto it. The author explores how these men overcame racial barriers and discrimination within their own military unit and society at large to become heroes of the war effort. The book begins with an introduction to the history of African Americans in the military, highlighting their contributions to past wars and their struggles against racism and discrimination. It then delves into the formation of the 5555th Parachute Infantry Battalion and its training process, which included rigorous physical conditioning, parachute jumps, and combat maneuvers. The author describes how these soldiers faced additional challenges due to their race, including segregation and prejudice from white soldiers and officers. Despite these obstacles, they persevered and became one of the most elite units in the army.
Courage Has No Colour The True Story of the Triple Nickles America's First Black Paratroopers, написанная Таней Ли Стоун, рассказывает историю первых чернокожих парашютистов в армии США во время Второй мировой войны. Эти солдаты были частью 5555-го парашютно-пехотного батальона, также известны как Тройные Никлы, которых обучали прыгать с самолётов в зоны боевых действий. Батальон был сформирован в 1942 году и полностью состоял из афроамериканских солдат, многие из которых никогда не видели снега, не говоря уже о том, чтобы десантироваться на него. Автор исследует, как эти мужчины преодолели расовые барьеры и дискриминацию внутри собственной воинской части и общества в целом, чтобы стать героями военных усилий. Книга начинается с введения в историю афроамериканцев в армии, освещающего их вклад в прошлые войны и их борьбу против расизма и дискриминации. Затем он углубляется в формирование 5555-го парашютно-пехотного батальона и его учебный процесс, который включал строгую физическую подготовку, прыжки с парашютом и боевые маневры. Автор описывает, как эти солдаты столкнулись с дополнительными проблемами из-за своей расы, включая сегрегацию и предрассудки со стороны белых солдат и офицеров. Несмотря на эти препятствия, они упорствовали и стали одним из самых элитных подразделений в армии.
