Frank Money, an African-American a Korean War vet, discovers that he is still treated as a subhuman by most whites on his return to the American South. This is the first book I have ever read about an African-American Korean vet who risked his life to preserve the freedom of Southern Whites to discriminate against him. Without writers like Toni Morrison, Americans would continue to believe that only whites are heroes. In Django Unchained we saw a 19th century White plantation owner forcing his slaves to wrestle to the death. In this book, you read that the practice still existed in the 20th century.
