About this product
Product Information
Braided in Fire is a celebration of human dignity in desperate circumstances. This stirring memoir follows one woman's search to understand the drama that unfolded between the Italian peasants and African American infantrymen of the 366th Infantry Regiment. These were the people of the legendary "Buffalo Division" 92nd Infantry, whose lives were lost or changed irrevocably by a village battle in Tuscany during the Battle of Garfagnana. Their story remains largely untold. With Braided in Fire, Solace Wales holds up a light to this timeless story of bravery. Braided in Fire is not just military history. This important work tells of the human toll of war: the drama, the folly, the heartache-all present in grand measure for two peoples marginalized over the years for reasons of race and economic circumstances. Painted in a narrative befitting the beauty and rich hues of the Tuscan bills and its people, juxtaposed by the toils of a segregated America in black versus white, even while in Army green, Braided in Fire weaves two worlds together-the passion, heartbreak, and violence of war, ultimately providing the reader with the potential for redemptive peace and cultural harmony.

Reviews
Braided in Fire tells the story of Lieutenant John Fox, a forward artillery observer and posthumous Medal of Honor recipient, who directed friendly artillery fire on his own position as German troops overran Sommocolonia, Italy, on December 26, 1944. Fox's selfless sacrifice went unrecognized by the U.S. government for half a century simply because he was black. Solace Wales has invested decades in researching this instance of forgotten valor, producing a rich tapestry that interweaves the experiences of the black GIs and Italian villagers caught in the hellish maelstrom that engulfed Sommocolonia the day John Fox died. The result is a moving meditation on the cost of war and a tribute to the African Americans who fought for a country that treated them like second-class citizens.
