Westpoint Warriors by Tom Carhart

When America must be defended, the men of WestPoint are there. From the war of 1812 to the twenty-first century fight against terrorism at home and abroad, in the heat of battle and in the face of certain death, they give ever-renewed meaning to the WestPoint motto, "Duty, Honour, Country". They range from the celebrated, like Robert E Lee and Douglas MacArthur, to the unsung, including Patrick H. O'Rorke, who stunned the Confederates at Little Round Top with a ferocious and gallant charge that stopped their advance; Russell P Reeder, Jr., who led his regiment ashore at Normandy and valiantly fought German forces before losing a leg; and Joseph G Clemons, Jr., who commanded an infantry company that held off the enemy on Pork Chop hill in Korea. They - and many more - were all West Point warriors, men who led America's soldiers through this nation's wars and who protect us to this day with selfless sacrifice and unbounded bravery.
