Rather than retelling familiar battlefield narratives, this work reconstructs the conditions, decisions, and administrative structures that shaped recognition, neglect, and abandonment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book proceeds in two movements. The first recovers what can still be known: pre-war conditions, recruitment, training, frontline deployment under French command, the night of combat that made Henry Johnson known, and the medical and administrative aftermath that followed. Where records are absent, the absence itself is examined as evidence of institutional behavior rather than narrative loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second movement analyzes power. It traces why honor did not lead to support, why recognition was delayed until it was safe, and how military and political systems separated service from continuity. The result is not a memorial, but a record-one that explains how courage can be required, acknowledged, and then structurally abandoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not activist history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is institutional analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a restrained, documentary style and grounded in recoverable evidence, \u003cb\u003e369\u003c\/b\u003e offers a definitive account of how systems use service, manage recognition, and contain consequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Gentry,Keith Marshman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245453385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Stephanie Gentry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084019474687,"sku":"9798245453385","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/369-stephanie-gentry-9798245453385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
