{"product_id":"sons-of-slum-and-gravy-bill-mogan-9781438997582","title":"Sons of Slum and Gravy","description":"Sons of Slum and Gravy chronicles the coming of age of a child of the 1950's. William W. (Bill) Mogan shares an engaging personal story that leads him along a path to West Point and the Class of 1962. His experiences there and after graduation cause him to develop a deep and abiding respect and affection for his classmates. The author writes along parallel tracks of his own personal experience and those of twenty-eight of his West Point colleagues he believes exemplify the motto of the United States Military Academy: Duty, Honor, Country. While the reading public may recognize the names of only a few of the classmates featured by the author, members of the profession of arms will be sure to know many of them. Yet this is not a book about the military exploits of highly decorated soldiers, marines, and airmen. Rather it emphasizes the broad contributions to the nation by a cross section of one West Point class, while in and out of uniform. One cannot complete the book without gaining a deeper appreciation of not just the dedication and sacrifice displayed by the men individually but also a more complete understanding of the mission of our country's school for soldiers, the United States Military Academy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Mogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438997582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438997582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Bill Mogan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43934993514751,"sku":"9781438997582","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16bc424b-d8c9-4a79-a2d0-0a901c61e133.jpg?v=1681417234","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sons-of-slum-and-gravy-bill-mogan-9781438997582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
