A gripping look at the cadets of West Point whose dedication to duty was not honored by the country they served.

Young men who dream of heroes look to West Point and to a career of serving their country. The class of 1966 was no exception, but these cadets faced greater challenges than any earlier generation could have imagined. Thirty of them would be killed in Vietnam, but for those who did return, they resigned from the Army in records numbers— returning to a society that paid no honor to their military careers. In The Long Gray Line, Rick Atkinson eloquently tells the stories of the class of ' 66, a class that represented the innocence and patriotism of a generation.
