Britain's Black Regiments Fighting for Empire and Equality by Barry Renfrew The story of Britain's black regiments is one of war, hardship and remarkable fortitude. For decades, these soldiers were overlooked and undervalued, yet their courage and endurance played a crucial role in the British Army's global campaigns. From the Caribbean to the Second World War, these stepchild units fought against incredible odds, often facing bigotry and abuse from their own comrades. Despite this, they maintained remarkable loyalty to the empire that employed them. This book sheds light on the experiences of these overlooked soldiers, revealing a complex and fascinating chapter in British military history. Through meticulous research, Barry Renfrew brings to life the stories of these forgotten regiments, highlighting the contradictions and complexities of their existence.
