Book Reviews of The Long Gray Line: The American Journey of West Point's Class of 1966
Book Review: As a young man, one of the most influential books I've read.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Senior in high school, cautiously examining what I wanted to do with my life, the content in "The Long Gray Line" was a primary factor that influenced my decision to accept an appointment to West Point and serve my country. The story of the noble, real life soldiers is inspiring and reveals the true character and resilience of people who were in some of the toughest situations that my parents' generation faced. I gained an understanding of the social pressures faced by that generation, especially the soldier who also faced social pressures from the American military world of ideals. It is a must read book for any young man or woman who shows a concern for our country or military.
