Don Troiani's magnificently detailed battle paintings and meticulously-researched uniforms bring to life early-American military history. He has collaborated with historian John Rees on a visual and artistic look at Black soldiers from the Seven Years War to the Civil War, in this richly-illustrated Don Troiani's Black Soldiers in America's Wars 1754-1865. Historian John Rees, whose previous book, They Were Good Soldiers, told the story of African-Americans in the Revolutionary War, tells us about the world of Black soldiers which his and Troiani's book brings documents.
