Review: "To call "West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage" impressive would be a major understatement--it is awesome, almost to the point of being intimidating, in scope, certainly, and even in size.  Seeking just the right word to describe your book, I decided on "monumental."  It truly is that, both literally and metaphorically."  Lieutenant General Dave Palmer (USA, Retired) USMA 1956 Superintendent of West Point 1986-1991  Author "The River and the Rock: The HIstory of Fortress West Point 1775-1783"

"West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage" is a moving, insightful look at the invaluable and timeless contributions West Point has made...and continues to make...to our country and the world.   NO publication better captures the profiles of the Academy's graduates and the imprint they have made on our great country."  Lieutenant General Daniel Christman (USA, Retired) USMA 1965Superintendent of West Point 1996-2001

"West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage' is brilliant- it provides a depth and breadth of West Point's history as told through the lives of numerous graduates who have made incalculable contributions to our country."  Lieutenant General Franklin "Buster" Hagenbeck (USA, Retired) 
USMA 1971
Superintendent of West Point 2006-2010 

"Absolutely fantastic book!  You've done an amazing job melding visuals and real intellectual content to produce a readable and thought-provoking work. It's also a value for the price." Lieutenant General John Moellering (USA, Retired) USMA 1959Retired Chairman of the Board, USAA 2007-2012 and former Commandant of Cadets at West Point

"West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage is a stunning production on every level; beautifully researched, reasoned, and presented. It's having 211 years of the history of one of America's best and most stirring places displayed before your eyes. It's a gift from Dan Rice, and completely worthy of one of the few places that always finds a way to be the best of our country. Rice puts that heritage into a work of art."  David LipskyAward Winning Journalist and Author of "Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point"
