All Blood Runs Red
The Legendary Life of Eugene Bullard—Boxer, Pilot, Soldier, Spy
About this book
The incredible story of the first African American military pilot, who became a spy in the French Resistance and an American civil rights pioneer.
Winner of the Gold Medal for Memoir/Biography from the Military Writers Society of America
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
Eugene Bullard lived one of the most fascinating lives of the twentieth century. The son of a former slave and an indigenous Creek woman, Bullard fled home at the age of eleven to escape the racial hostility of his Georgia community. When his journey led him to Europe, he garnered worldwide fame as a boxer, and later as the first African American fighter pilot in history.
After the war, Bullard returned to Paris a celebrated hero. But little did he know that the dramatic, globe-spanning arc of his life had just begun.
All Blood Runs Red is the inspiring untold story of an American hero, a thought-provoking chronicle of the twentieth century and a portrait of a man who came from nothing and by his own courage, determination, gumption, intelligence and luck forged a legendary life.
"A whale of a tale, told clearly and quickly. I read the entire book in almost one sitting." —Thomas E. Ricks, The New York Times Book Review
" All Blood Runs Red should be required reading for anyone who has ever dreamed big. A truly inspiring and uplifting story of courage and triumph, and an opus for an unsung hero." —Nelson DeMille
"Dazzling . . . This may be a biography, but it reads like a novel." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
