Description
Racconta la storia della vita di Marty Maher, sergente americano di origine irlandese che è stato istruttore presso l'accademia militare di West Point dal 1899 fino alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Il titolo fa riferimento alla linea che gli allievi dell'accademia, in uniforme grigia, formano durante le parate militari.
This is the story of the twenty-five-year adventure of the generation of officers who fought in Vietnam. With novelistic detail, Atkinson tells the story of West Point's Class of 1966 primarily through the experiences of three classmates and the women they loved--from the boisterous cadet years and youthful romances to the fires of Vietnam, where dozens of their classmates died and hundreds more grew disillusioned, to the hard peace and family adjustments that followed. The rich cast of characters includes Douglas MacArthur, William Westmoreland, and a score of other memorable figures. The West Point Class of 1966 straddled a fault line in American history, and Rick Atkinson's masterly book speaks for a generation of American men and women about innocence, patriotism, and the price we pay for our dreams.
