Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This visually splendid coffee-table book is in its own way as stately and ceremonious as the Naval Academy itself. It covers the Annapolis year from the grueling introduction of the plebes to the academy to the graduation of the senior midshipmen 10 months later. We learn much about the buildings, curriculum, customs, and people (including a brigade of midshipmen now integrated by both sex and race) of one of the fundamental institutions of the U.S. Navy. This is not a "warts and all" view, to be sure, but the amount of information and the quality of the photographs compel us to overlook that and certainly make the tall, slim book invaluable for popular naval collections.

Steward spent 16 months working on this book and it shows. He takes the reader from "I" Day (Induction Day) to caps in the air graduation with the permission of the Navy. The photos tell the story. If you or anyone you know in interested in Annapolis, buy this book used.
