About this title

About the Author:

Catherine Reef is the author of more than 40 nonfiction books, including many highly acclaimed biographies for young people. She lives in College Park, Maryland.

From Booklist:

Another title in the attractive Facts On File series A to Z of African Americans. Like other volumes in the series (e.g., African Americans in the Performing Arts [RBB Ag 03], African-American Religious Leaders [RBB F 15 04]), it is well written, well researched, and a useful (but not essential) purchases for school and public libraries.

Each alphabetically arranged entry provides a one- to two-page biography with cross-references, photo, and suggestions for further reading (many with Web sites). A bibliography and indexes by branch of service, year of birth, and keyword follow the text. Entries profile more than 125 individuals from Clara Leach Adams-Ender (Army Nurse Corps) to Matthew Zimmerman (army chief of chaplains) and from the Revolutionary War to the present.

There is some overlap with other works, and even with other volumes in the series. Buy where reports and interest make this title needed. RBB
