"Enormously rich in detail and written with a novelist's brilliance... A very moving book."--James Salter, "The Washington Post Book World"
"A story of epic proportions [and] awesome feat of biographical reconstruction... A difficult book to put down."--Cullen Murphy, "The Boston Globe"
"The Long Gray Line is a profoundly moving saga in which the U.S. Military Academy at West Point stands center stage. In mufti or olive drab, at peace or war, amidst joy or grief, in life or death, the academy shapes all. The author has captured its ethos. If you want to see a slice of the nation's manhood in a drama of troubled times and find its heart, feel its emotions, sense its dilemmas, then read this book. It is a stunning story."--Colin L. Powell
"More of a biography of a generation than of a class at West Point... Stark, shocking, jolting."--John Eisenhower, "Chicago Tribune" (front page review)
"Journalism elevated to narrative history, a book like Neil Sheehan's Pulitzer Prize-winning A Bright Shining Lie. But better."--USA Today
"A work as masterfully executed as it was conceived."--Philadelphia Inquirer

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. The first trade paperback edition of the New York Times best-seller about West Point's Class of 1966, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rick Atkinson.This is the story of the twenty-five-year adventure of the generation of officers who fought in Vietnam. With novelistic detail, Atkinson tells the story of West Point's Class of 1966 primarily through the experiences of three classmates and the women they loved--from the boisterous cadet years and youthful romances to the fires of Vietnam, where dozens of their classmates died and hundreds more grew disillusioned, to the hard peace and family adjustments that followed. The rich cast of characters includes Douglas MacArthur, William Westmoreland, and a score of other memorable figures. The West Point Class of 1966 straddled a fault line in American history, and Rick Atkinson's masterly book speaks for a generation of American men and women about innocence, patriotism, and the price we pay for our dreams.
