I've been interested in history, especially WWII, for some time. I thought I knew a lot about it but this is a story of which I had never heard. The all Black crew of the USS Mason fought two battles, one against an enemy of their country and the other against the enemy within their country -- and they won them both. They won the second well after World War II and, in a sense, they're still fighting it since that enemy will never go away.
I must admit that if Ossie Davis hadn't been in the cast, I probably wouldn't even have looked at the cover. He was and I did. Lorenzo DuFau (Ossie Davis who performed him), his people and all of us have great reason to be Proud. Their story is one which should be made available to people of all races and faiths and even those in other countries as well. It's an example of what man can do and will do if necessary to save their homes, their countries and themselves. Excellent job.
