At the fiercely traditional Citadel, the Carolina military college, four cadets navigate the brutal passage into manhood. Amidst the rigid hierarchy and intense pressures of military life, they forge bonds of loyalty and confront the dark secrets lurking within the institution's proud walls. This powerful novel explores themes of honor, corruption, and the enduring struggle for identity against a backdrop of institutionalized tradition.
