Tom Willard began the compelling saga of African-American fighting men and their wives in book one of The Black Sabre Chronicles, the highly acclaimed Buffalo Soldiers. In The Sable Doughboys, the second edition of the chronicles, Willard continues that captivating story as he takes us back to World War I and the sons of Sergeant Major Augustus Sharps, the great "buffalo soldier" of the Western Indian wars. Continuing their father's valiant fighting tradition, the two young men withstand vicious racial attacks in order to endure the first Negro officer training program. Once officers of the 93rd Division in 1917-18, however, Adrian and David Sharps face war on two fronts: They are subjected to racial hatred and violence on the home front as they prepare to face death in the horrors of trench warfare in the battle of the Meuse-Agronne on the Western Front of France. The Sable Doughboys is an engrossing story of uncommon courage and fortitude-unheralded hallmarks of the African-American soldier in America's wars.
The sons of Sergeant Major Augustus and Selona Sharps enter the first Negro officer training program, ultimately joining the 93rd Division and seeing action in France during the first World War.
This acclaimed saga of one African-American family's contributions to the American military concludes with this novel of the first woman to join the family's ranks, serving with the 101st Airborne in the Gulf War.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Augustus Sharps, Jr., of the Sabre Ranch in Arizona, makes his way to Tuskegee, Alabama, where for the first time in history, black men are being trained as combat pilots to fight the war in Europe and the Pacific. Augustus's family has been fighting America's wars since his grandfather rode with Buffalo Soldiers against the Apaches, and since his father fought in Cuba 1898 and in the trenches of the Western Front in World War I, and he is determined to follow their footsteps. Wings of Honor is the poignant and exciting story of a young man battling the odds to fly with the "Red-Tail Angels," the 99th U.S. Pursuit Squadron, and how he added to his family's honor in battles over North Africa, Sicily, and France, in the fury of the Second World War.
In the fourth installment of his Black Sabre Chronicles, the author brings the Sharps military family into the Vietnam era, as Franklin Sharps is sent there in 1965 with the 101st Airborne Division. Franklin fights a war on two fronts: in 'Nam against the Viet Cong, and at home, as he fights his father's attempts to reconcile with the family he deserted.
From the Civil War to Desert Storm, there stretches an unbroken line of dedicated, distinguished service by African-Americans in the United States military. Buffalo Soldiers is a tribute to the bravery, honor, and sacrifice of these black American fighting men. Sergeant Major Augustus Sharps of the 10th Cavalry and other former slaves had proven that they could fight valiantly for their freedom, but in the West they were to fight for the freedom and security of white settlers who often despised them. The Cheyenne thought the hair of this new kind of soldier resembled buffalo hides, and the men on the 9th and 10th Cavalry became known as "buffalo soldiers."
