The Last Stand - Brien A. Roche - Bog

Bag om The Last Stand

July 19, 1919, was a steamy day in Washington, D.C. The Klan was in town, promoting white supremacy and Prohibition. Their rural foothold was based upon the credo of not mixing the races; that alcohol would undo the American family; that the only way to hold on to what you got is to make sure that nobody passes you by in the "social order," including non-whites, foreigners and non-Protestants. The three Custer brothers had returned from Northern France, having fought there as American Stormtroopers. They had adopted the German Stormtrooper technique of quick and vicious nighttime raids to disrupt the enemy. These Black warriors were prepared to employ those same tactics to defend their home. Defend they did. They beat back the white mob. They used their marksmanship skills not to kill but to wound and deter.The Custer brothers didn't know that German Stormtroopers had entered the United States to continue wreaking havoc and extracting vengeance against the men they felt had misled Germany into an armistice, surrender and now reparations. To aid their mission, they injected themselves into the white mob. The Custer brothers, in conjunction with Lee Ann Custer, their white "sister," decided to fight back. Fight they did.
