| Summary |
They had joined an army at peace, but in their time at the United States Military Academy the world around them changed forever. Just after the cadets in West Point's bicentennial class began their senior year, terrorists attacked America. The following June, when President George W. Bush spoke at their graduation and declared that the United States would "take the battle to the enemy," the men and women of the class of 2002 knew they would be fighting on the front lines. In this stirring account of the five years following their graduation, the Army's newest, youngest officers lead their soldiers into harm's way and experience both the rewards and the costs of answering their country's call. |
