Men of Bronze is the definitive story of the black American soldiers of the 369th combat regiment, known as the "Harlem Hellfighters," who served with the French army in World War I. Although relegated to non-combat duty by the U.S. command, the 369th was sent to France and spent more time in the front-line trenches than any other American infantry unit. Fighting alongside French, Morrocan and Senegalese soldiers at the campaigns of Champagne-Marne and Muese-Argonne, the courageous men of the 369th distinguished themselves in some of the fiercest battles of the Great War. Men of Bronze uses photographs, interviews with veterans, and film from the French and American National Archives to recount the saga of the "Harlem Hellfighters," offering an inspiring tribute to these unsung heroes and an unforgettable look at World War I.
