The Brothers’ Vietnam War: Black Power, Manhood, and the Military Experience

 “Clearly focused on exploring the alternative notions of racial manhood which African American servicemen developed during the Black Power era, The Brothers’ Vietnam War is a welcome addition to the surprisingly small body of scholarly literature on the black experience in Vietnam. . . . Herman Graham’s exemplary use of male bonding rituals, storytelling, handshakes, and hairstyles to examine both gender consciousness and the soldiers’ and sailors’ transformation to group militancy should serve as a model for future studies.”—William L. Van Deburg, University of Wisconsin, Madison “The best study of the black GI experience in Vietnam to date . . . fills a major gap in the histories of Vietnam and of African American men.”—Craig Werner,
