"White War, Black Soldiers explores Africa's role in World War I by pairing two works by African authors, translated in English for the first time. Strength and Goodness (Force-Bont???e) by Bakary Diallo is the only memoir of World War I ever written or published by an African. It remains a pioneering work of African literature as well as a unique and invaluable historical document about colonialism and Africa's role in the Great War.
