Miracle at St. Anna (Movie Tie-in)（ISBN=）

　　McBride illuminates an ironic moment in American history, a
time when black soldiers fought bravely for the country whose
“freedoms” included Jim Crow laws, segregation, and institutional
and widespread personal racism. Miracle at St. Anna puts
these intimate stories at the center of the much larger story of
the struggle of people of color in this country. Each character is
trapped and forced to act as nobly and as bravely as he can in the
midst of forces beyond not only his control, but beyond his world.
