A group of friends from the Irish section of the Bronx are graduating from college during a period of great political unrest. Communism was gaining support throughout the world, threatening the sovereignty of the United States. The lines of battle were being drawn as the Cold War was heating up as the Soviet Union was stepping up its pressure on the United States in Wars of National Liberation; especially in Cuba and Vietnam. These native New Yorkers must make life-altering decisions; should they concentrate on starting their careers and finding love, or must they postpone personal aspirations in order to serve a greater purpose. These young men were part of an all but forgotten American culture that were willing to put themselves in harms way by answering the call to Duty, Honor, Country.

This book as with " A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation " pack a lot of emotional impact.This book defines what a leader of men, such as Marines, should do. He "must always make a decision, right or wrong but must make a decision." A must read particularly in light of 9/11/01!
