Item description from seller

393, illus., notes, bibliography, index, DJ in plastic sleeve. A RAND Book. Inscribed by the co-author (Schlossman). The desegregation of the American armed forces--one of the most sweeping changes in the military's history--is widely remembered as a straightforward, relatively effortless process. This book challenges the view, revealing both the political conflict of the time and the opposition to integration. The authors reveal the intense political conflict and the strenuous opposition to racial integration within all branches of the armed forces in this informatiove study of the military's evolving attitudes toward race.
