M-Z. 520 $a This encyclopedia is unique in its coverage of nearly all major ethnic and racial minority groups, as opposed to reference works that have focused only on individual ethnic or racial minority groups. It acknowledges the military contributions of African Americans, Asian Americans, French Americans, German Americans, Hispanic Americans, Irish Americans, Jewish Americans, and Native Americans. This timely work highlights the individuals and events that have shaped the experience of minorities in U.S. conflicts. Additionally, it considers how the integration of servicemen in the U.S. military set the precedent for the eventual desegregation of America's civilian population. --from back cover. 651 0 $a United States. 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Armed Forces $v Biography. 700 1 $a Bielakowski, Alexander M. 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214024235.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015253.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=045023086B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
