Defending America. Our two-book series We Fought the Road and A Different Race tell a story you’ll want to read. We Fought the Road on Amazon A Different Race on Amazon
In 1942 black and white soldiers built a land route 1600 miles long through the most difficult country on earth in just eight months. The Army desperately needed to get the material of war north to deny Japan access to America through the Aleutians, and they didn’t have enough white soldiers to build the road. Reluctantly they sent black soldiers, kept them away from white people and reporters, hid them in the deep woods. The white soldiers got all the credit for the epic achievement.
Our series corrects that—immerses you in the black soldiers’ experience.
We wrote about privates and sergeants, not colonels and generals. We wrote about how it felt to be them in that time and that place. We wrote about their misery, their fear, their patriotism and their triumph. We wanted our readers to live the adventure of these ordinary men who stepped up and built the extraordinary Alaska Highway.
And we wanted our readers to know about the black soldiers who became ghosts in history, gave their all for a country that couldn’t bring itself to thank them or even remember them.
