Follow on Google News |  Shenango - Army Base Race Riots of WWIICamp Shenango was an Army base in World War II that was the site of a race riot. Located in Pennsylvania, the camp was later renamed Camp Reynolds. This book is loosely based on real events.
In 1943, David Robinson is a non-commissioned army officer and a good soldier, until he is kicked out of Officer Candidate School (OCS) in New Jersey. While awaiting reassignment, he meets a movie actress and advises her on grounds for divorcing her husband, an OCS candidate. Robinson is then persecuted and transferred to Camp Shenango, where he meets and falls for a clerk at the local PX. She becomes the cause of a race riot and Robinson becomes involved, killing several black rioters. Despite a lack of evidence, he is tried, convicted and sentenced to Ft. Leavenworth Prison. But before leaving, Robinson is able to sneak out word that his trial was a farce. Shenango shows what race relations in the service were like in the 1940s.
