USNA: The United States Naval Academy: A Pictorial Celebration of 150 Years
Three years of research, including taking part in the daily activities of the midshipmen, has paid off for historians Kohlhagen and Heinback in this account of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Using historical and contemporary photographs, the authors create a rich, intriguing, and intimate portrait of the academy in celebration of its 150 years of service to the navy and the United States. Included in the book are chapters on the history and traditions of the academy, as well as coverage of the city of Annapolis. This book will give the reader a good idea of what it is like to be a midshipman, without actually having to be one. Highly recommended for public libraries and others having any interest in U.S. naval history.?Terry Wirick, Erie Cty. Lib. System, Pa.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
