SIDELIGHTS: Glenn A. Knoblock told CA: "Since my earliest teenage years I've considered myself a historian, so it was just a matter of time before I put my research on various historical matters into print. One of my prime motivators for the books I write is to preserve many aspects of history that might otherwise be lost. In a number of my books, my intent was not to rewrite history that has already been written, but to present and preserve the achievements of the everyday man and woman that are often overlooked, or lost altogether. This is particularly true of my works in the area of African-American military history.

"While I have received a good amount of acclaim for my work, none of it would be possible without the support and encouragement of my wife, Terry."
