Racial tension was high when a fight broke out between White and Black sailors aboard the massive Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier that serviced the bombing missions over Vietnam. 

Discovering the unfair, unequal, and frankly discriminatory treatment to which Blacks were subjected, Marv Truhe, the JAG officer assigned to the case, mounted a vigorous defense of the Black sailors. His book draws on the original documents he collected and saved.
