Synopsis

Former Secretary of the Navy, Navy Cross recipientand Marine officer , Webb lit the fires of controversy with this startling inside look at life at the U.S. Naval Academy when A Sense of Honor was first published in 1981. Some of his fellow Academy graduates attacked it as exaggerated and extreme, but Webb's portrayal of a gung-ho first classman's campaign to shepherd an unprepared plebe through the academy's complex and unforgiving ethos was hailed as a ‘considerable achievement’ by the New York Times and ‘a remarkable moral statement’ by the Boston Globe.
