All Blood Runs Red: The Legendary Life of Eugene Bullard—Boxer, Pilot, Soldier, Spy

All Blood Runs Red tells the story of Eugene Bullard, the first African American military pilot, who later became a spy in the French Resistance and an American civil rights pioneer. The son of a former slave and an indigenous Creek woman, Bullard left home at age eleven to escape racial hostility in his Georgia community. His journey took him to Europe, where he achieved worldwide fame as a boxer and subsequently as the first African American fighter pilot in history. After the war, Bullard returned to Paris as a celebrated hero, though his most dramatic experiences were still ahead. This biography chronicles Bullard's twentieth-century life—from his humble origins to his achievements through courage, determination, intelligence, and perseverance. The book won the Gold Medal for Memoir/Biography from the Military Writers Society of America and was selected as a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice.
