Über diesen Titel
"With this book, Wil Haygood has become the preeminent chronicler of the Black experience in America.” —Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Laureate for The Making of the Atomic Bomb
"In these masterful pages, Haygood reframes both the Vietnam War and the United States’ unfinished struggle for equality."—Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of 13 Hours and Lost in Shangri-La
Drawing on the lives of soldiers and officers, doctors and nurses, journalists and activists, artists and politicians, Haygood illuminates a generation caught between two battles: one on the front lines in Vietnam and another for justice and dignity in America.
Among those at the heart of the story are Air Force pilot Fred Cherry, the first Black officer captured by the North Vietnamese and a hero to millions back home; Dr. Elbert Nelson, a doctor who came to Vietnam after watching TV footage of the Watts riots in Los Angeles and soon found himself amid rising Black soldier protests overseas; Wallace Terry, a groundbreaking Black reporter determined to expose the dynamics of race and war to the American public and Philippa Schuyler, a biracial concert pianist who traveled to Vietnam to rescue mixed-race orphans, many fathered by Black soldiers, and died trying to bring them to safety.
Surrounding their experiences are the cultural and political forces of the era, including Martin Luther King Jr., Marvin Gaye, Berry Gordy, and Lyndon Johnson, whose voices and actions shaped a decade of turbulence and transformation.
The War Within a War is both sweeping history and intimate revelation, capturing the tragedies and triumphs, the honor and hypocrisies, the courage and cowardice that shaped an era and whose repercussions resonate today.

“A compelling book, the deep, moving story of how men and women of color experienced the war in Vietnam. With this book, Wil Haygood has become the preeminent chronicler of the Black experience in America.” —Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Laureate for The Making of the Atomic Bomb
"In The War Within A War, Wil Haygood brings his signature blend of investigative rigor and narrative grace to the story of Black soldiers who fought courageously on two fronts – in the jungles of Vietnam and in a divided America. This is history written with heart, precision, and unflinching honesty. In these masterful pages, Haygood reframes both the Vietnam War and the United States’ unfinished struggle for equality." —Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of 13 Hours and Lost in Shangri-La
"Wil Haygood writes with empathy and moral clarity, illuminating the lives of Black Americans whose experiences in Vietnam revealed the unfinished struggle for equality at home. The War Within a War is both history and reckoning, told with uncommon grace." —Gilbert King, author of the Pulitzer prize-winning, Devil in the Grove
"A searing history of the Black experience in Vietnam." —Kirkus Reviews
