The Black Sabre Chronicles, By: Tom Willard

[freakjeep73]

The Black Sabre Chronicles is a series of books about the Sharps family's history in the United States military. The books I'm reviewing now is Buffalo Soldiers and Sable Doughboys. The books follow the African American Sharps family through The Indian Wars and WW1 (respectively.) I'll get this out of the way now, these might be some of the greatest undiscovered war novels of our time. Not only do they deal with the hardships endured in combat and war, but personal life and racism. One fight rages across an ocean or on a bloody frontier, but the other one rages in their own backyard. As I read these novels I become sad and happy and I react to every word, I really become part of the Sharps family. And the books are paced really well too. I never get bored, but it's not always a full-scale action movie. I recommend this book to everyone, but be weary, because this book has violent depictions of war, torture, and racism, so don't hand this to little Timmy. The only thing I dislike about these novels are that they have an end! The books are going for about $2 on amazon and the links are here for you.( http://www.amazon.com/The-Sable-Doughboys-Tom-Willard/dp/0812551060 ) ( http://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Soldiers-Black-Sabre-Chronicles/product-reviews/0613334612/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending ) And if anyone has a good World War 1 book, please share!
