The Long Gray Line Atkinson, Rick
Houghton Mifflin 1989 Wilmington, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 0395480086 / 9780395480083 First Edition First Printing Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
DJ has light edgewear. Preserved in mylar cover. Dusty page edges, with several small fingerprints. Clean interior with straight, solid binding. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 592 pages Since its founding by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, the United States Military Academy, "fortress of virtue, preserve of the nation's values, " has exerted a powerful and lasting influence on its graduates. As revealed in this Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter's eloquent and heartfelt narrative, the class of 1966 was subjected to oral and ethical pressures that were unique, partly because it was "the first generation of West Pointers to join a losing Army, " and partly because of the radical change in society's attitude toward the military during the latter years of the Vietnam era. Atkinson profiles a handful of representatives of that class, following them from their high-spirited cadet years, through the crucible of Southeast Asia and--of those who survived--into the hard peace that ensued. The book is a poignant, thought-provoking account of the struggles of young men who pledged themselves to "Honor, Duty, Country, " but found that living up to West Point's iron standards was difficult and in some cases impossible.
