Among other Jim Webb books that George Allen has attacked are Webb's classic, "A Sense of Honor." That's pretty hilarious, considering that George Allen has ZERO "Sense of Honor" himself, but that's another issue. For now, I just wanted to point you to the reader reviews of this book on Amazon.com. For instance:*Joseph P. Fordham writes, "This book came out shortly before I entered USNA in 1981 and I first read it during Plebe Year. I re-read it recently, and the book still resonates as it did when I was 18."
*"Johnnie B." writes, "This is by far the best. I spent a semester at Virginia Military Institute and I can tell you Webb is spot on. If anyone out there is considering entrance into a service academy or private military school, you must read this. It will prepare you better than anything else."
*"A reader" writes, "I was given "A Sense of Honor" to read when I was an Air Force ROTC cadet...my instructor had this 'weird' vision of "teaching us something" instead of just making us learn by rote :)"
*"A reader" writes, "As a former Midshipman (cadet) of the U.S. Naval Academy, I emphatically concur with each and every emotion James Webb conveys through his characters...Reading this book will humble you beyond belief. If you are climbing that ladder of success, you'll want this book next to your Palm Pilot. It will truly improve your relationship with both your employees, as well as your superiors."
By the way, there are 32 reader reviews of "A Sense of Honor" currently at Amazon.com. Amazingly, 31 of those reviews give the book 5 stars, the max. One other gives it 4 stars, not too shabby either. Those are about the best reviews I've ever seen for a book on Amazon.com, and I read a lot of book reviews...
