Publisher's Synopsis
Mission: Create distrust for and among the KKK in Caloosa and discourage them from terrorizing colored people! Oceans is a boy growing up in the fictitious town of Caloosa, Mississippi, in the 1920s and 1930s under the Jim Crow system and Ku Klux Klan dominance. He sees his mentor and other colored men face injustice from the system and lynchings by the Klan and determines that one day, he will rid his town of the Klan menace. Somehow, he will find a way to terrorize individual members of the Klan and make them scared to wear the white sheet and hood, much less terrorize the colored population. As a young army volunteer in World War II, he faces all types of discrimination. The colored GIs are segregated as well as undervalued, underestimated, and marginalized. He is assigned as a truck driver even though his testing shows that he is qualified for much more. His truck is blown up, and he is captured by the Germans and sent to a prison camp where he escapes and ends up fighting with the French underground. He returns home after the war to use his skills with weapons and his God-given ability to mimic any voice or accent once he's heard it to rescue colored men from lynchings by the Klan by disguising himself as a white man and eventually terrorizing the Klan to the point that they're afraid to show themselves.
