Integrating the US Military: Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation Since World War II is recommended for both military history and civil rights collections and gathers the experiences of Afro-Americans, Japanese Americans, women, and gay men and lesbians in the armed forces in modern times. This interesting history, well-documented with endnotes, is suitable for all students and faculty. Highly recommended. Integrating the US Military continues the rich research on military organizations and the participation of Americans. The volume clearly illuminates the importance of the military to American social change and provides a collection that would be especially valuable in teaching. -Ronit Y.
