Book excerpt: "In Pat Conroy's iconic 1980 novel The Lords of Discipline, protagonist Will McLean vows to write the history of his military college. Conroy's classmate John Warley, '67, has deftly achieved that in his modern history of The Citadel. Interwoven with the remembrances of alumni, faculty and college and community leaders, Warley's narrative account is an enlightening chronicle of change over time-a microcosm of our larger American experience-as told from the vantage point of one who wears the ring."--Jonathan Haupt, executive director, Pat Conroy Literary Center On March 20, 1843, twenty young men from South Carolina assembled on Marion Square in Charleston to begin the educational experiment called The Citadel. In 2018, over 2300 cadets from all over the world, of varied race and gender, gathered to celebrate 175 years of tradition and excellence. This book explores that journey.
Download or read book Standing Tall written by James Wigfall and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, strong-willed yet idiosyncratic Steve Wiggins follows his father’s military footsteps and enrolls in South Carolina Military Academy, a bastion of Southern principles and severe discipline. The academy only recently allowed black cadets to attend and is in the early stages of a policy enforcement against the upperclassmen’s notorious hazing. The students whisper about Steve when he passes, and their words follow him like shadows of the palmetto trees swaying in the breeze. In Charleston, South Carolina, where the Confederacy and slave trade cast a shadow over the city’s history, the mayor begins an ambitious new project that attempts to bring the city out of the dark. While on campus, Steve stumbles into a moral dilemma to either expose a situation or remain silent to safeguard his secret. When Steve returns home, he notices a change in Charleston. The faces from his childhood are absent from church. There is a new pastor. Steve is no longer speaking to his girlfriend. He feels exasperated and in need of someone to talk to. At home, he wears a smile, and his parents take pride in him for dedicating himself to such a disciplined life. Standing Tall highlights an African American’s experience in a marginalized environment with pervasive Southern ideology. While attending a military academy is a difficult trial, it teaches important lessons, including but not limited to stoicism, perseverance, and tenacity.

Book excerpt: My Winning Seasons is Joe Crochet’s compulsively readable memoir about his experience as a cadet-student-athlete at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. From the rigorous challenges of the exhausting first year to the exaltation of being part of the team that took Citadel football to the next level, Joe paints a portrait not only of what it takes to succeed at The Citadel, but what it takes to win in life: vision, dedication, determination, focus—and the will to win. Inspiring and entertaining, this book is a compelling read not just for college football fans, but for anyone who wants an example of how to success. “I have been around Citadel football since August of 1969. Throughout the years, I’ve watched many talented coaches and players come together each year to represent The Citadel with style and class. The 2015 football team was special—they came together to create one of the most remarkable seasons in Citadel football history. It was a great pleasure seeing Mike Houston and his staff instill confidence in the players. It was even a greater pleasure watching the players come together on and off the field forming a brotherhood that will last a lifetime. You could feel it in the locker room and see it on the field. This team was together—they handled adversity better than any team I’ve been associated with. Yes, the 2015 Citadel football team was a very special group of young men. It was truly an honor to watch them create excitement and inspire the entire Citadel family. Joe Crochet was a key member of this team—he’ll go down as one of the greatest defensive linemen in Citadel football history. Joe’s done a masterful job telling their story.” - Lt Gen (ret) John Rosa, ‘73

Book excerpt: Senator Martin Harmon is poised to claim his partys nomination for vice president of the United States. He improved his chances dramatically by becoming the leading spokesperson for a law, the REA, designed to prevent abuses in genetic engineering; abuses that Harmon believes threaten the country and mankind. But he has a problem: the woman he loves is not his wife, and the woman who is his wife wants nothing to do with the intense spotlight that comes with a presidential campaign. As he struggles to resolve his dilemma, he must confront the consequences of the law he fought so hard to enact, for if he has won political friends with his support for the REA, he has made enemies among genetic researchers, including Max Grunfeld, an aging scientist of towering reputation whose most recent discovery will revolutionize the entire field of genetics. Events put Harmon and Grunfeld on a collision course with the highest stakes possible: human life.
