In 1944, 13 men--known as the Golden Thirteen--made history when they became the U.S. Navy's first African-American officers on active duty. Now this courageous group recalls how each fought prejudice to become pioneers in military history--and role models for all African Americans. Photographs. A New York Times Notable Book of 1993.
This book was both upsetting and inspiring...a must read for all Minority Naval Officers to ensure that this type of history never repeats itself.
A MUST HAVE

This book is one of my all time favorites. As a Navy retiree, the story and experiences of the Golden Thirteen greatened my appreciation for the rights and privileges I enjoyed and the honor I had serving my country.
