Duty First is a penetrating account of a year inside one of America's premier schools for leadership -- the United States Military Academy -- as it celebrates the bicentennial of its founding.

Duty First also shows the role played by the majors, captains, and sergeants, who oversee everything that happens at this unique institution.
