Reviews
This book provides a much-needed study of how the values of the federal service academies compare to those of broader American society and the obstacles that potentially separate them from national, social and ethical mores. -- Military Review Displays mastery not only of the Academy's history . . . but also of the evolution of its bureaucracy and curriculum. . . . Politically explosive. -- American Historical Review Recommended. -- CHOICE Institutional histories can be dry and dull, but this carefully researched and documented history of the Naval Academy does not fall into that category. The author is fair, yet critical. -- International Journal of Maritime History Extremely well written and exhaustively researched. -- Journal of Southern History
