AUTHOR'S 2ND BOOK SIGNED. "Inspired by the true story of the all-black, all-volunteer 24th Infantry Regiment, Company K, McEachin's 2nd novel is a riveting account of one of the most disgraceful chapters in American military history. In 1917 the U.S. entered WWI----but while troops were heading to France, another war was about to erupt in Texas. The men of the 24th Infantry Regiment (Colored) were all volunteers, and Company K was the best outfit in the regiment, thanks largely to the leadership and discipline of Sgt. Obie McLellan. Yet the segregated Army sent the unit to a post near Houston noted for its miserable conditions. When the Houston police ignited a race riot in town, leaving many black soldiers dead, wounded or in jail, McLellan led the enraged men of Company K in a revolt against their continual mistreatment from the police and their white officers. Company K armed itself and marched into Houston to even the score and rescue their jailed comrades. The resulting court-martial produced the largest mass trial in U.S. military history: more than 100 black soldiers were charged with murder, mutiny and other capital crimes. To appease angry Southerners, the Army promised convictions and executions; perjury, blackmail, coercion and flagrant disregard for the Constitution made a mockery of military justice. McEachin's story is a tragic commentary made even more compelling by his astute portrayal of the soldiers (called mockingbirds by the prosecution) and officers involved." Internally tight & unmarked.

(2) "The Heroin Factor" by James McEachin. HARDCOVER 1999 Rharl Publishing 1st edition, 1st printing w/ numbers 1-10 on copyright page.. Exactly as shown in scan(s). Collectible SIGNED 1st edition, 1st printing hardcover IN DUST JACKET. AUTHOR'S 3RD BOOK SIGNED. "McEachin's 3rd novel is not so much a mystery-thriller as an unusual, nearly unresolvable case history. As a result, the climax hinges not on the apprehension of a killer, but a search for answers, and ultimately a mutual redemption between cop & criminal, who share more than just a crime between them. It's not the story one might expect from the first few pages, but McEachin's strange twists make it a palpable & addictive one." Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior; all lettering/decoration bright. SIGNED "STACY/BEST WISHES/JAMES MCEACHIN/11/14/02" ON 2ND END PAPER." NO REMAINDER MARK; NOT X-LIBRARY. SELDOM PRESENT $25 UNCLIPPED DJ.
