To Succeed Where Others Failed

The Black raiders planned the operation, employed their own strategy, led by a Black Sergeant-Major - no White officer - and carried out the mission.

Why? Everyone knew that the war was almost over.

They sought to do what White commanders never had-to succeed where others failed.

"White-washed" by Confederacy apologists, this book uses a range of sources to reveal a clearer story of this amazing raid by courageous, determined men. This odd raid is a keystone event in the Black soldier's journey to gain acceptance, parity, and respect in the White man's army.
