For nearly two hundred years, the United States Military Academy, better known as WEST POINT, has trained students in the art of war. West Point has weathered countless changes since it was created by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, but two things have remained constant--its location and its place as America's premier military school. Filled with archival footage, countless photos and interviews with West Point authorities, graduates and cadets, MODERN MARVELS chronicles the rich history of this legendary institution. During the Revolution, it was a vital fortification commanding the Hudson with artillery and a 136-ton chain strung across the river to prevent enemy ships from passing. In the Civil War, 90% of the commanders on both sides were West Point graduates, and the lessons they learned exacted a horrible cost on the nation. And a new era began in 1976, when an Act of Congress forced West Point to open its doors to women for the first time. Though the mission has remained the same--to provide an intelligent, well-educated corps of officers to the United States Army--the lessons have changed.Television DVDs |
