This beautiful photographic journal of a year at the United States Naval Academy captures the demanding yet rewarding life of midshipmen, from their first hours as raw plebes to their commissioning as naval officers. Much more than just a picture book of the academy facilities, The Brigade in review reveals the true nature of life at one of America's great institutions. The mission of the Naval Academy is to develop midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically, and to instill in them the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. This book gives readers an inside glimpse of the hardships, rewards, and highlights of academy life. From the rigors of Plebe Summer to the exaltation of Commissioning Week, from inspections inside "Mother B" to the antics at the Army-Navy games, the real academy experience is captured in full color. Detailed captions and anecdotal quotes enhance these candid portrayals. But a midshipman's training does not stop at the end of a rigorous academic year. To round out the picture of what it means to attend the U.S. Naval Academy, Robert Stewart followed members of the brigade into the summer's professional-development programs, including aviation, submarine, and Marine Corps training, surface ship indoctrination, and leadership exercises. This colorful chronicle of daily life at the academy makes an ideal gift for alumni, friends and relatives of midshipmen, as well as other enthusiasts.

Bottom edge of lower board shows some faint dampstaining to cloth. Half title page has a slight manufacturing flaw along fore edge.
