Mutiny. Murder. Mayhem. The largest murder trial in the history of The United States. Blacks verbally abused, physically beaten, discriminated against at every turn. An interracial love story swirling in-and-out of a plot filled ever heightening tension. Such is the story of All Blood Runs Red. It's the tale of 22-year-old John Christmas Washington, a Private in the black Twenty-Fourth Infantry which is struggling to survive in Jim Crow Texas at the offset of WWI.At the heart of novel is the very real Houston riot/mutiny of August 23, 1917, and the subsequent court-martial. The court-martial itself remains to this day the largest murder trial in American history. However, early on an interracial love story pushes to the forefront and ultimately strikes a somewhat equal balance with the themes of racial strife, homeland war, and rivened justice.
