Book Synopsis
With sweeping vision, historical precision, and unparalleled research, this book will stand as the definitive study of the Harlem Rattlers. Though discussed in numerous histories and featured in popular culture, the Rattlers have become more a matter of mythology than grounded, factually accurate history - a situation that authors Jeffrey T. Sammons and John H. Morrow, Jr. set out to right.

Trade Review
“Belongs on the shelf of any serious student of the 15th/369th Regiment, American involvement in World War I, race relations in the early twentieth century, and African American history.”—Journal of Military History

“Librarians need to make room for Sammons and Morrow’s study because their work delves quite deeply into the background of the regiment’s formation, the culture of the early-20th-century Harlem, and the complex issues surrounding the formation of an African American fighting unit in an era when Jim Crow was a dominant feature of the US and supported by the federal government from its president on down. Essential.”—Choice
