About This Item

NY: Random House, 1998. BCE/BOMC. Hardcover_boards. Fine/Fine. 5.75"x8.5" 548 pages. Black boards w/gold foil letters. DJ #05613 designed by Andy Carpenter. DJ photo by Anthony Powell Collection.

Raised in the steamy bayous of New Orleans in the early 1900s, LeRoi "King" Tremain, caught up in his family's ongoing feud with the rival DuMont family, learns to fight. But when the teenage King mistakenly kills two white deputies during a botched raid on the DuMonts, the Tremains' fear of reprisal forces King to flee Louisiana. King thus embarks on an adventure that first takes him to France, where he fights in World War I as a member of the segregated 369th Battalion—in the bigoted army he finds himself locked in combat with American soldiers as well as with Germans. When he returns to America, he battles the Mob in Jazz Age Harlem, the KKK in Louisiana, and crooked politicians trying to destroy a black township in Oklahoma. Source: Publisher.
