Freedom by the Sword by William A Dobak
From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 newly emancipated black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. This book tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service.
William A. Dobak received his PhD in American Studies from the University of Kansas in 1995, and is now an authority on the history of black soldiers in the nineteenth century. An award- winning historian and author, he has worked at the National Archives and the U.S. Center of Military History.
