Toward the end of the Second World War, four Buffalo soldiers from the Negro 92nd Division find themselves separated from their unit and behind enemy lines. Risking their lives for a country in which they are treated with less respect than the enemy they are fighting, they discover humanity in the small Tuscan village of St Anna di Stazzema.

(Nueva York, 1957) es un saxofonista de jazz, guionista y novelista estadounidense, y según sus propias palabras, «el peor bailarín afroamericano de la historia, desde los tiempos de la esclavitud y antes». En 1995 publicó El color del agua (Planeta, 1998) sus memorias como hijo de una inmigrante judía polaca y de un predicador negro estadounidense. La emocionante historia de su madre, viuda desde muy temprano y con doce hijos a su cargo, se convirtió en un clásico norteamericano contemporáneo debido al brillante diálogo que establece entre raza, religión e identidad. Con su hilarante narración de la lucha contra la esclavitud en El pájaro carpintero ganó el National Book Award a la mejor novela del año 2013. Dos textos de McBride han sido llevados al cine por Spike Lee: Miracle at St. Anna (2002) y Red Hook Summer (2012). El presidente Barack Obama otorgó a McBride la Medalla Nacional de las Humanidades del 2015 «por humanizar la complejidad del debate racial en los Estados Unidos».
