"Phil Keith and Tom Clavin have resurrected the memory of a man who
was larger than life; a man born to a former slave and a Native
American mother in racially-hostile Georgia who refused to play the
hand he was dealt, and lived life on his own terms. All Blood Runs
Red should be required reading for anyone who has ever dreamed big.
A truly inspiring and uplifting story of courage and triumph, and
an opus for an unsung hero."--Nelson DeMille "Eugene Bullard lived
enough for a dozen interesting men, and All Blood Runs Red tells
his story in a captivating way that keeps the pages turning for the
next chapter. Keith and Clavin bring us a well-crafted book about a
truly admirable American."--Gregory A. Freeman, author of The
Forgotten 500: The Untold Story of the Men Who Risked All for the
Greatest Rescue Mission of World War II "An exultant trumpet song
to the human spirit. My God, how I admire this man."--Robert Coram,
author of Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War "An
incredible, meticulously researched, star-studded tale of the
grandson of a slave, who broke nearly every barrier he encountered,
becoming history's first African American fighter pilot, a storied
boxer, a member of Parisian high society in the Jazz Age, a
character in a Hemingway novel, a World War II spy, and a friend to
the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Josephine Baker, and
Louis Armstrong. All Blood Runs Red is a true 'moveable feast' that
will forever change the way you see 20th century history."--Kristin
