Review
"For a month in the summer of 1944, military translator Louis Guilloux watched in horror as the American Army brought the cruelty of Jim Crow justice to his beloved France. Guilloux swore that he would bear witness to what he had seen. With unflinching honesty and vivid prose, Alice Kaplan honors the translator's pledge. In this remarkable tale Kaplan has shed a brilliant light on the dark side of America's Good War."-- Kevin Boyle, National Book Award-winning author of "Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age"
