"Investigate Everything": Federal Efforts to Ensure Black Loyalty During World War I

Book Description:

During World War I, the Bureau of Investigation (later the FBI) and other government intelligence agencies were determined to suppress any dissent against the war and enforced upon America’s black population one hundred percent patriotism--no opposition tolerated. In this investigation of African American reactions to attempts to subvert their loyalty, and the government’s over-zealous pressures to keep them in patriotic line, Ted Kornweibel delves further into the historical territory he first explored in "Seeing Red": Federal Efforts to Suppress Black Militancy, 1919-1925.
