Description

Set in the 1880s, this riveting story focuses on Whittaker, a former slave who became the third black man to enter West Point.

Like his two predecessors, he was ostracized for the entire three years of his training.

One morning Whittaker didn't show up for drill. He was found in his room, unconscious, tied tightly to the bed, with blood streaming from his head.

In a trial that received major attention from the press, Whittaker was accused of faking the crime to get sympathy from the public and from his professors.

Author Marszalek weaves his rich narrative from historical records to tell how Whittaker sought justice against all odds.
