Great Illustrations!,
By A Customer
This review is from: West Point in the Making of America (Hardcover)
I loved this book marking the 200th anniversary of West Point. It's full of beautiful illustrations that set it apart from most other books of this kind and the writing style made, what some would find a very dry subject, extremely interesting.
