Summary
"The seventeen stories included in the volume are told from the perspective of two main characters--cadets Pete Creger and Sammy Graham--who are members of F Company ... the collected stories range from the emotional and physical trials of being a knob in the plebe system, the brutality of hazing, and the fear and fun of company pranks, to the friendship and camaraderie the system fosters and the tremendous pride shared by those who wear the coveted Citadel ring"--Dust jacket.
