Summary:
"
Black
military heritage in
Canada
is still generally unknown and unwritten. Most Canadians have no idea that Blacks served, fought, and died on European battlefields, all in the name of freedom. The story of the overt racist treatment of
Black
volunteers is a shameful chapter in Canadian history. It does, however, represent an important part of the
Black
legacy and the
Black
experience. It is a story worth reporting and worth sharing. In this thirtieth-anniversary edition of Ruck'
s
celebrated history of Nova Scotia's No. 2 Construction
Battalion
, known as the
Black
Battalion
, the original text and over 60 photographs and documents is presented for a whole new generation of readers, along with a new foreword and photographs from journalist Lindsay Ruck, Calvin W. Ruck'
s
proud granddaughter."--From publisher.
