Black Fighting Men Recorded Live in Vietnam
This is the
first recorded history of black soldiers in any war. For two years, from 1967 to 1969, Wallace
Terry traveled the length and breadth of Vietnam were he interviewed black
soldiers—infantry as well as officers—for Time magazine and for this
recording.

Guess Who's Coming Home
Terry recorded hundreds of
black GIs on the battlefront. He found
his story everywhere from Da Nang to Hue, and from the battlefields of Hamburger Hill and the Ashau Valley. And the Bloods rap about everything—racism in
America, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, Black Power and Ho Chi Minh—and what
they plan to do when they get “back to the World.” In this recording, you will discover a war
within a war, a double battleground.
Whites against blacks. Racial
slurs. Cross burnings. Confederate flags. Knifings.
Fraggings. The humor, intensity
and anguish as the Bloods rap will make you laugh, it may make you angry, and
it may make you cry as you share their world at war.
