Description:
Flipper was the first black graduate of the West Point Academy, but was court-martialed for mishandling funds. Robinson uses military records of the court martial to recreate events and assess the fairness of the proceedings, considering racism and underlying influences on the decisions. An intriguing re-creation of the past.
