Book excerpt: A detailed and gripping account of the 1917 Camp Logan riots, which left eleven civilians, five policemen, and four soldiers dead and created conditions that sparked a nationwide surge of wartime racial activism. The resulting trial was considered the trial of the century at the time, and resulted in the hanging of thirteen black soldiers. New evidence and access to historical archives indicate that the courts-martial were rushed in an attempt to placate an angered white population as well as military brass. Mutiny of Rage serves to not only retell an accurate story of the event, but to set the legal record straight on what really happened.
