Glory in Their Spirit: How Four Black Women Took on the Army During World War II

Surrounded by Courage, is a book about a military family that weaves its way through a career of adventure, danger, sacrifice and separation. This is not just another Boot Camp story. Bill Connell writes about the anxiety, failure and success at Boot Camp, Fleet Marine Force, while aboard Navy ships, and in combat zones. He leads the reader through the storms of life, storms at sea, and storms of weather that threaten his family.

In this second edition of Surrounded by Courage, Connell avoids offensive words and terms as he deals with reality of life.
