About this title

Synopsis

"Authentic, compelling...Anyone interested in what really goes on inside the high-pressure, high-testosterone leadership lab that produces some of the nation`s finest Army officers will enjoy this book." —Library Journal

Gail O`Sullivan Dwyer graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1981--only the second Academy class to have women among its members. Funny, poignant and insightful, this insider`s view of what it was like to be a cadet--and a female one to boot--at the nation`s most storied academic institution will inform, delight...and even make you laugh out loud.

The author retired as a lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army Reserves and has served with West Point admissions as a liaison officer.

"Highly recommended for all young Americans interested in becoming West Point Army officers."
—COL Michael Jones, U.S. Army (Ret), West Point Class of 1970, Former Director of Admissions, USMA
