Ghostly Assemblage

Résumé du livre

"This book is written in anger - an anger laced with surprising flashes of malevolent humor - but nevertheless a real and devastating anger which strains at the words and flares out repeatedly against two objectives: first, the negligence and the near-criminal guilt of those in authority at West Point who by their unbelievable weakness in permitting the game of football to encroach upon their obligation as teachers and counselors of the Cadets at the Military Academy brought about the Cheating Scandal of 1951; second, the smugness and narrow mindedness of all, authorities, officers, graduates, and cadets alike, who have heaped contumely upon the Ninety Cadets and then closed their minds in hypocritical and puritanical bigotry. With the publication of this book, three years of their cunningly contrived silence are ended and their secret becomes known. In these pages there is proof positive that the Ninety Cadets were not alone in bidding farewell to Honor in 1951"--Dust jacket flap.
