Freedom by the Sword: The U.S. Colored Troops, 1862-1867. Ctr. of Military History. (Army Historical Series). 2011. c.553p. illus. maps, bibliog. index. ISBN 97801608866968. $69.95. HIST -- "The title of this book comes from the Latin inscription on a medal struck for black Union soldiers: Ferro iis libertas perveniet ("Freedom will be theirs by the sword"). Dobak (retired, U.S. Army Ctr. of Military History; Fort Riley and Its Neighbors) argues that rather than being passive recipients of freedom attained for them by Northern white soldiers, African Americans fought for their own freedom and did so effectively. In spite of severe prejudice in the North and frequently poor leadership from their own all-white officers, the U.S. Colored Troops served with distinction. Dobak examines his subject by geographic area and time period rather than in strict narrative form. This approach makes it harder for readers to see the "big picture" of black accomplishments in the war but effectively shows how --contrary to common opinion -- black soldiers did not merely garrison forts and serve as laborers for white fighting troops. As indicated by his title, Dobak covers the first months of Reconstruction as well as the war itself.", Xpress Reviews: Nonfiction First Look at New Books, December 23, 2011 -- Library Journal December 22, 2011 by Bette-Lee Fox Week ending December 23, 2011 Dobak,William A.
