Negative Positive
Title: Highly recommended
Review: Founded in 1802, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is one of America's oldest and most respected military institutions which has prepared young men (and recently, young women) for careers as officers in the United States Army. In 2002 West Point celebrated its bicentennial. In honor of this milestone, the USMA Department of History hosted a multi-disciplinary conference focused on the Academy and its place in American society. The topics ranged from the Academy's role in developing officer professionalism, to its influence on the careers of distinguished graduates, to institutional challenges and changes, to the experiences of women and minorities at West Point, to the evolution of the Academy's academic curriculum. A highly recommended and scholarly contribution to American Military History collections, the twenty-four chapters comprising West Point: Two Centuries And Beyond shares the richly informed and informative scholarship of that bicentennial conference.
