The historical content and veteran quotes provide an in-depth perspective about the service of one of the country’s last segregated military units. Recipients of the Congressional Gold Medal, the unit’s trajectory comes to life as they train and fight in Puerto Rico, Panama, Europe and Korea during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The coffee-table style book provides a rich visual legacy of the regiment’s dedicated and valiant service to our country. Written and edited by Noemí Figueroa Soulet, producer of the acclaimed PBS documentary film “The Borinqueneers”, this elegant limited-edition will be sure to be a valuable collector’s item.  Hardcover, 200 pages in B&W with 10 pages in color.

“On its own, it is a marvelous book and great photo collection.  But besides that, it makes a great complement to ‘The Borinqueneers’ film.  It puts in perspective the participation of the 65th Infantry Regiment in the Korean War, documenting the historic provenance of the unit and the aftermath of its action in combat.” 

— Brig. Gen. (Ret.) David Carrión Baralt, former Adjutant General of the Puerto Rico National Guard
