When the dust settled fifty were charged with mutiny facing decades in jail and even execution.The Port Chicago 50 is a fascinating story of the prejudice and injustice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II and a nuanced look at those who gave their lives in service of a country where they lacked the most basic rights.This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum including history and social studies.Sheinkin delivers another meticulously researched WWII story one he discovered while working on his Newbery Honor book Bomb...Archival photos appear throughout and an extensive bibliography source notes and index conclude this gripping even horrific account of a battle for civil rights predating Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. Publishers Weekly (starred review)Also by Steve Sheinkin:Bomb: The Race to Buildand Stealthe World's Most Dangerous WeaponThe Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure Heroism & TreacheryUndefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football TeamMost Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam WarWhich Way to the Wild West?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About Westward ExpansionKing George: What Was His Problem?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the American RevolutionTwo Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil WarBorn to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America Biografía del autor Steve Sheinkin is the award-winning author of several fascinating books on American history including The Notorious Benedict Arnold which won the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for nonfiction and received three starred reviews; and Bomb a National Book Award finalist and recipient of five starred reviews.
