Summary "West Point" by Robert C. Richardson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the history and unique experiences of cadets at the United States Military Academy, providing insights into the traditions, customs, and the development of the institution over time. The narrative focuses on the place's historical significance, particularly during the American Revolution and the evolution of military education in the United States. At the start of the book, Richardson sets the stage for the storied legacy of West Point, reflecting on its fortification during the Revolutionary War and the importance of educated military officers in the fledgling nation. He introduces readers to the early tumultuous years of West Point, highlighting various figures such as Washington, Kosciusko, and Arnold, as well as the critical battles for control that shaped its history.
