"Using Bullard’s memoirs and other sparse information about him, Greenly crafts a moving, novelistic biography that portrays Bullard’s undying fortitude throughout his life. Meanwhile, the black-and- white photos, of everything from a teenage Bullard boxing to wartime aircrafts, add plenty of historical flavor."
—J.B. Petty, Booklist, starred review 

"Eugene Bullard had many fascinating adventures that will engage readers. A worthwhile introduction to a decorated hero of two world wars who overcame obstacles in difficult times."
—Kirkus Reviews 

"Through extensive research, including Bullard's own memoirs, Greenly relates the extraordinary tale of Bullard's courage and perseverance in the face of unending prejudice and bigotry. This is a remarkable book about a remarkable man."
— David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of First Blood and The Brotherhood of the Rose
