The Lords of Discipline
About This Book
" The Lords of Discipline is, simply, an American classic." -- Larry King
The Lords of Discipline is a novel about coming of age, brotherhood, betrayal, and a man's forging of his own personal code of honor. Will McLean, a senior on the cadets' honor court, is an outsider by nature: a basketball star at a school that prizes military prowess above athletics, a military man in training who dares to question the escalating Vietnam war. And yet his greatest struggle will be with the corrupt institution of which he is a part. Rich in humor and suspense, abounding in a rare honesty and generosity of feeling, this novel established Pat Conroy as one of the strongest fictional voices in a generation.
"A work of enormous power, passion, humor, and wisdom." â Washington Star
"God preserve Pat Conroy." â Boston Globe
