“I suppose that there is no statistical proof, but there are certain classes at schools where everything seems to happen. The class of 1915 at West Point is known as the ‘Class the Stars Fell On.’ Of the 164 graduates, 59 earned at least one star (attained the rank of general), the most of any class in the history of the United States Military Academy. Two reached the second highest rank, Eisenhower and Bradley. The Class of 1947 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis was another and this book is on some of its most distinguished graduates: Stansfield Turner (Director CIA), William Crowe (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), Jim Stockdale (Medal of Honor), Jimmy Carter (President of the United States, Nobel Peace Price Laureate). In addition there are brief summaries of other members of the class. The book is a reminder that there is still room in this country for the old values of duty, honor, and country.”
