About this product

Product Information

West Point's Class of 1915 is the academy's most important in history. The cadets of the United States Military Academy, West Point, are intimately twined with the country's history. The graduating class of 1915, the class the stars fell on, was particularly noteworthy. Of the 164 graduates that year, 59 (36%) attained the rank of general, the most of any class in. Although Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, both five-star generals, are the most recognizable, other class members contributed significantly to the Allied victory in World War I, World War II and played key roles either in the post-war U.S. military establishment or in business and industry after World War II, especially in the Korean War and the formation of NATO. For more than half a century, these men exerted tremendous influence on the shaping of modern America, which remains substantial to this day. Individually, the stories of these military and political leaders are noteworthy. Collectively, they are astonishing. West Point, 1915 explores the achievements of this remarkable group.

Reviews
" West Point 1915 is an exceptionally well-executed book. Part biography and part military history, it will certainly appeal to a diverse set of readers. But among its most valuable and perhaps most unexpected contributions is its highlighting of the parallels between the past and today." - WarOnTheRocks.com "West Point 1915 presents a most interesting look at a uniquely talented group of officers. The book should especially appeal to Academy graduates." - The Journal of America's Military Past, ... exceptional volume... West Point 1915 is a volume that has much to recommend it. Apart from the aforementioned organization, there is the fluidity and conciseness of Haskew's writing, and the exhaustive research displayed within its pages, all of which make this a highly readable volume. This is a volume that humanizes the class and praises a group who, as a whole, contributed so much to their country. - ArmchairGeneral.com|9780760346525|, "The US Military Academy at West Point, New York, has long been regarded as a 'star factory,' and no class exemplified that designation more than the Class of 1915. Most of the members of that class'?'?men such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, James Van Fleet, and many more'?'?cut their teeth as fledgling officers during the 'Great War,' but it was the next world conflict that propelled so many of them to greatness. Mike Haskew's thoughtful, well-written book has captured who these men were and why they were able to achieve so much. Here is a book that will rescue the educational and personal values instilled by such a fine institution from the dim recesses of time and push these leaders'?'?and the school that forged them'?'?into bright light and sharp focus. Today, as the world faces a crisis of leadership and an uncertain destination, we Americans need West Point'?'?and the types of leaders it produces'?'?more than at any other time in many decades."

Superb Account of West Point's Most Famous Class
This is a superb account of West Point's most famous class, and it is written with dignity and respect for its subject matter. I highly recommend this history of the young men who would lead this nation on the battlefield during World War II. Wonderful in every way!
