This extremely interesting volume demonstrates, from the official records of the war of the rebellion, that the negro displayed in that protracted struggle the highest qualities of a soldier in many a hard-fought battle. Courage to attack, bravery to endure, fearlessness under deadly fire, and daring in assault, were as conspicuous in him as in the bravest and best of his white fellow-soldiers. That these qualities should be found in men belonging to a race long enslaved is evidence that there is in the race a moral and intellectual basis for the highest culture. All that men have attained they may attain. Colonel Williams, who is himself a colored man, proves by his book that he can guide the pen with skill, force, and sound judgment. In its sixteen chapters he tells us what the negro has done as a soldier, both in ancient and modern times; and he has done this in a style and spirit and with a degree of intelligence which make his volume eminently readable, instructive, and historically valuable.  A valuable and interesting history of Negro troops in the War of the Rebellion. The author is himself a soldier, and participated in many of the battles which lie describes. Truly, as he says," the part enacted by the negro troops in the war of the rebellion is the romance of North American history." His chapter, "The Cloud of Witnesses," is a cloud of testimony from Secretary Stanton and many great generals, all of whom put these black men among the foremost of soldiers.  They understood the issue, as when the ex-slave, standing guard and seeing his own master brought in as a prisoner, saluted him: "Ah, master, bottom rail on the top this time." They appreciated the symbolism of the Federal garb, as when another on guard said to those who would jostle his authority: "This man is of no particular account, but you must 'spect this uniform." They had the fire of patriotism, as when the soldier addressed his comrades thus:  "Our massas, dey hab lived under de flag. Dey got rich under it, and everything beautiful for de chillun; under it dey hab grind us up and put us in their pocket for money. But de fust minute dey tink de old flag mean freedom for us cullud folks, dey pull it right down and run up a rag of dere own. But we'll neber desert de ole flag, boys. We hab lib under it for 1862 years, and we'll die for it now."  The author writes of the military prowess of his own race. He was an officer of artillery in the Republican forces of the Mexican army, and an officer of the 6th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. He participated in many of the battles he describes, including some of the most severe conflicts of negro troops with the enemy in Virginia. He has been intrusted with the journals and orderly-books of officers from the rank of lieutenant to that of major-general, and has been personally acquainted with six major-generals who at one time commanded negro troops. The first chapter is devoted to a summary of the services of negro soldiers in ancient times, beginning with their record in ancient Egypt; then follows a summary of their record in modern times, and then the detailed record of their history in the war of the rebellion.

In the fast-changing theatre of air transportation, the strategic development of airlines and the operating economics of scheduled airline services have been transformed, following the profound impact of US deregulation.  The lessons gleaned from the US experience, including effective ways of constraining rivals, have quickly been adopted by carriers facing the opening up to competition of their own local markets.  In addition, in response to the hunt by the successful US survivors for further international traffic, carriers have been forced to emulate certain tactics adopted by these megacarriers, virtually irrespective of their own  government’s regulatory stance.  The economics of the sector, particularly with regard to revenue generation, has resulted in increased market concentration.  In the longer term, prospects for competition remain unclear, given the likely existence of only a small number of similarly endowed, globally alligned megacarriers.   This book explores the impact of deregulation policies on key areas of the airline industry, analyzes the response of incumbent carriers to economic freedom and examines whether or not it is possible to devise a pro-competitive regulatory strategy for this sector.  The author provides the reader with a clear explanation as to: ¢ why airline deregulation policies have produced a number of unanticipated outcomes; ¢ why low-cost new entrants have been unable to survive under deregulation; ¢ why the impact of airline deregulation has differed between the USA and Western Europe. Using this analysis as a basis, he explores the future development of the sector, indicating the likely future trends towards globalization.  He also argues that a competitive marketplace is not a guaranteed outcome of full deregulation and suggests an alternative approach. The book is of special interest to those members engaged in the airline industry, regulatory authorities and government departments of transport and industry.  It wil
