"White War, Black Soldiers explores Africa's role in World War I by pairing two works by African authors, translated in English for the first time. Strength and Goodness (Force-Bont???e) by Bakary Diallo is the only memoir of World War I ever written or published by an African. It remains a pioneering work of African literature as well as a unique and invaluable historical document about colonialism and Africa's role in the Great War. Lamine Senghor's The Rape of a Country (La Violation d'un pays) is another pioneering French work by a Senegalese veteran of World War I, but one that offers a stark contrast to Strength and Goodness.

The centennial of World War I is an ideal moment to present Strength and Goodness and The Rape of a Country to a wider, English-reading public. Until recently, Africa's role in the war has been neglected by historians and largely forgotten by the general public. Euro-centric versions of the war still predominate in popular culture. Many historians, however, now insist that African participation in the 1914-18 War is a large part of what made that conflict a world war" --
