Troy Mosley's book, The Armed Forces and American Social Change, has a narrow but deep focus and presents the author's personal views on African-American and other minorities' contributions to our armed
forces since our Republic's founding. The specific focus is on the ebbs and flows, since the creation of the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1947, of DoD leaders' efforts at diversity and inclusion. In the author's words, "Unwritten Truce . . . pivots on the notion that our nation's military may be the best force we have to combat the overwhelming force of the systemic, institutionalized racism that we still face today" (3).
