I don't know of any fiction but there is the oral history collection called
Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans edited by Terry
Wallace.

Sandra:
You might try John A. Williams's *Captain Blackman* and A. R. Flowers's
*De Mojo Blues*. A very interesting and overlooked narrative poem about a
black vet's experience in the war and after is Michael Harper's
*Debridement*. Good luck!

This isn't exactly fiction, but there is a great collection of poetry by Yusef Komunyakaa that may supplement your materials well. It's titled Dien Cai Dau. It is really excellent!
