Book Synopsis
The epic story of the forgotten Black regiments of the regular British Army

Trade Review
It shines a light into some very dark corners … The West Indian regiments were all but denied recognition in their lifetimes. This book gives them the tribute that they undoubtedly deserve. -- Pennant
A well-researched and disturbing account of three British Army regiments recruited in the Caribbean.
This is a considered work, often seeing both sides … and presenting a strong case for greater recognition of what these men did. -- Muster
It should be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the contributions to the British Army of the Imperial and Commonwealth communities, and of the Afro-Caribbean community to the history of the United Kingdom in particular.
