Synopses & Reviews
The central theme of Double V is the promise held out to African American military personnel that World War II would deliver to them a double victory, or "double V" -- over tyranny abroad and racial prejudice at home.
The authors also demonstrate how the Tuskegee Airmen's struggle foretold dilemmas faced by the civil rights movement in the second half of the 20th century. Double V is destined to become an important contribution in the rapidly growing body of civil rights literature.
