SUMMARY

This riveting account of racial turmoil in the U.S. Navy will be of immense interest to any student of the Navy, the Vietnam War, the All-Volunteer Force, or race relations in the United States. -- Eugenia C. Kiesling, United States Military Academy, West Point, NYIt is hard to determine what dominated more newspaper headlines in America during the 1960s and early 70s: the Vietnam War or Americas turbulent racial climate. Oddly, however, these two pivotal moments are rarely examined in tandem.John Darrell Sherwood has mined the archives of the U.S. Navy and conducted scores of interviews with Vietnam veterans -- both black and white -- and other military personnel to reveal the full extent of racial unrest in the Navy during the Vietnam War era, as well as the Navys attempts to control it. During the second half of the Vietnam War, the Navy witnessed some of the worst incidents of racial strife ever experienced by the American military. Sherwood introduces us to fierce encounters on American warships and bases, ranging from sit-down strikes to major race riots.The Navys journey from a state of racial polarization to one of relative harmony was not an easy one, and Black Sailor, White Navy focuses on the most turbulent point in this road: the Vietnam War era.Sherwood, John Darrell is the author of 'Black Sailor, White Navy Racial Unrest in the Fleet during the Vietnam War Era', published 2007 under ISBN 9780814740361 and ISBN 0814740367.
