Book Review: The Spirit of West Point Is Alive and Well
Summary: 5 Stars
As the U.S. Military Academy celebrates its 200th Anniversary (Bicentennial) there has been a renewed interest in examining the contributions of this venerable institution in American society, both from within and outside the military. In The Spirit of West Point, the authors and illustrator uniquely capture, in word, photographs, and sketches, the underlying fabric of West Point. Using a geographic context, both physical and cultural, the authors describe and illustrate the lasting imprint of the Academy on the surrounding Hudson Valley landscape through its evolving land use and architecture. They also capture the "heart and soul" of the institution as exemplified by the cadets, faculty and families who live there and call it their "rockbound Highlands home". To the thousands of cadets who have walked the Plain (the parade ground)as part of the Long Gray Line, and to their families, friends, colleagues and the millions of visitors who have toured the Academy grounds since 1802, this book will remind them, that indeed, the Spirit of West Point is alive and well today, as it has been for 200 years.
