Black Officer, White Navy
2024
Overview
In Black Officer, White Navy , Lieutenant Commander
Reuben Keith Green shares a compelling and enthralling account of
how, as a Black man in the post-Vietnam War era, he navigated his
unique career path from high school dropout to unrestricted line
officer in the US Navy. Weaving history with personal narrative,
Green's engaging, raw, and insightful storytelling style provides
an insider's analysis of what was happening within the navy,
ultimately exposing systemic racism throughout the US military.
Using the \"power of the pen,\" he offers uninhibited accounts of
sometimes life-threatening confrontations that resulted from
personal and institutional racial bias, describing what it was like
to \"sail second class\" in the navy. Green, who retired as a
decorated surface-warfare officer in the mid-1990s, presents an
eye-opening account of the challenges, discrimination, and
resistance he faced while serving in the military. Through it all,
Green's characteristic sense of humor and honesty shine as he tells
one hell of a sea story.
