"In every war, people demand their champion. In World War II, that hero was Captain America. Truth is the controversial, declassified story of the African American men involuntarily subjected to the U.S. War Department's 'Super Soldier' project, in a race to develop a serum that might turn the tide against the Axis powers--if the Nazis didn't get to it first. An epic spanning the time just before the attack on Pearl Harbor into the present day, Truth finally reveals the tragic sacrifice that a Black infantry unit made for their country--and what those sacrifices mean to a white man named Steve Rogers."-- Provided by publisher.
