Seller's Description:
Fair to good. xvi, 424, [6] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. Fore-edge soiled and foxed, boards & spine somewhat soiled and faded. This book chronicles the impact of West Point in areas beyond war--science, education, engineering, exploration, and transportation. The Spanish-American War is covered on pp. 337-342. Colonel Dupuy served as news chief and acting director of public relations on the World War II staff of General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower and on the War Department General Staff in Washington just after the war. He was the author of more than 20 books on military history. It was Colonel Dupuy who broadcast to the world on June 6, 1944, the brief and long-awaited statement: "Under the command of General Eisenhower, Allied naval forces, supported by strong air forces, began landing Allied armies this morning on the northern coast of France." He was present at the conclusion of the operations that began then, serving as a member of the official Supreme Headquarters party at the ratification of the German surrender in Berlin in May, 1945. Colonel Dupuy came to his wartime post with a background that combined extensive newspaper experience with the training and skill of a professional Army officer. He had hoped for an Army career from early childhood, but family responsibilities made it necessary for him to go to work at 17, and after three years of clerical jobs he became a cub reporter for The New York Herald of James Cordon Bennett. Dupuy covered many major stories of the New York area in the decade before World War I, working his way up to ship news editor and feature editor by 1917. He had enlisted in the New York National Guard in 1909, and when the United States entered the war he was sent to France as commander of an artillery battery and a regimental staff officer. After the war he joined the Regular Army. Colonel Dupuy served as chief of the Army Information Service in New York City, on the general staff of the II Corps area and First Army and as public relations officer on the staff of the United States Military Academy. He was elected to honorary membership of the West Point class of 1913. Before being sent to Supreme Headquarters in Europe in 1943, Colonel Dupuy was with the War Department Bureau of Public Relations in Washington. He returned to the bureau in 1945, serving as acting director until his retirement the following year. The years since 1946 saw a continuation of the writing career in military history and national security affairs Colonel Dupuy had begun in his off duty hours in the years between the wars. In addition to well over 100 articles and short stories, he produced 22 books. Colonel Dupuy found time also to serve for five years as associate editor of The Army Navy Air Force Register and from 1963 to the present as a member of the board of directors and staff editor of the Historical Evaluation and Research Organization.

Seller's Description:
Good in Fair jacket. xvi, 424, [6] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. Illustrated endpapers. DJ worn, torn, chipped, and soiled. Discoloration at pages 228/229 and proximate pages. Inscribed on half-title to Mr. Emmett Brown by the author and the recipient's daughter. This is believed to be Dr. H. Emmett Brown, noted for his contributions to the development of science education. This book chronicles the impact of West Point in areas beyond war--science, education, engineering, exploration, and transportation. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is in part a history of West Point and it also is a eulogy of Sylvanus Thayer, an early graduate, and the part he played in the subsequent reorganization of his alma mater. It is also a summary of the importance of West Point graduates in national life. Miriam Brown Keeler earned her bachelor's degree from Newcomb College in 1916 and her master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin. She was an instructor in English at Newcomb College from 1927 to 1931. She married George E. Keeler, Jr., who became a brigadier general in the Air Force.
