Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is the first full-length book telling the true story of Bamber Bridge, a rural English village in January 1943 when six hundred Black American were stationed in the town bringing with them swing music, laughter, and a warmth that cut through ration lines, air-raid sirens and three years of war. The villagers welcome them without hesitation. In crowded pubs, they drink and dance together, But the harmony in Bamber Bridge defies a darker reality. The Black GIs serve in a segregated army. All senior officers were white, as were the Military Police who oversaw them. They resent the camaraderie between soldiers and villagers-especially the friendships and romances with local women. When the MPs attempt to impose segregation, the village responds in open defiance. The three local pubs hang signs declaring: 'We serve Black soldiers only.' Lady Eleanor of Bamber Hall, falls passionately and tragically in love with a much younger Black GI, defying class and convention. At the center of rising tensions stands Edwin Jones, a newly promoted Black Second Lieutenant. He urges restraint as hostility escalates. His courage later earns him commendation, and love leads him toward a new life in France.A false rumor spreads: a Black GI is accused of rape. In despair, he attempts to take his own life. He survives, only to be repatriated in disgrace.On the night of June 24th, 1943, violence erupts. Three Black soldiers are shot in the back by white MPs-one fatally. For five hours, Bamber Bridge becomes a battleground. Gunfire tears through the main street as terrified families hide indoors. By morning, the U.S. Army has restored order-and imposed silence. Thirty-five Black soldiers are court-martialed. No white MP faces punishment. A strict press blackout buries the truth and the military removes every trace of the event.Amid the chaos, a quieter tragedy unfolds. Cat Caton, a disfigured RAF pilot, forms a profound friendship with Billy Crossland, a thoughtful Black soldier scarred by racial violence in America, having witnessed his uncle hanged and burned to death by the Klu Klux Klan. When Billy is killed during the shooting, Cat is consumed by grief and takes his own life. A determined local reporter begins uncovering the truth, revealing not only military complicity and racial violence but also the bravery of Black soldiers and English villagers who stood together against injustice and racism. …
