Varied Fare Fighting for America: Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of World War II. Christopher Paul Moore. Ballantine Books. 368 pages; black & white photographs; maps; index; $15.95.

Most books today about minorities in World War II focus on specific subgroups. Christopher Paul Moore takes a larger view in Fighting for America and examines the overall war experience of blacks.

Covering all theaters of war where blacks served, Moore uses letters, citations and sometimes poetry to relate the black experience and the irony of fighting to liberate other people while they themselves did not enjoy equality.
