Synopsis
Coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in March of 2002, this PBS companion book is a celebration and examination of West Point's remarkable role in our nation's history.

Through engaging narrative and striking contemporary and archival photography, it offers a multifaceted portrait of the Academy in all of its tradition and pageantry, its academic and military excellence, and its fluctuation between clinging to the past and reinventing itself. Beginning with the legendary events that took place at the site of West Point prior to the establishment of the Academy, the text explores the school's humble beginnings, its later contributions as a leading engineering institution, its enormous presence in the Civil War, and the social challenges faced by West Point throughout its 200-year history, including race and gender issues. Woven into the fabric of the account are stories of the larger-than-life characters that people the Academy's past, including Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E.
