Once An Eagle is a story of duty, honor, and rivalry; military strategy, and human nature.
It paints vivid pictures of how war shapes lives, forging men into heroes and revealing the darker sides of ambition and rivalry. Sam Damon is a soldier whose character embodies the virtues of duty and honor: he demonstrates what it means to put others first. His arch-nemesis is Courtney Massengale: crafty and ambitious, he uses connections and influence to climb the ranks, often at the expense of those around him. The personal and professional conflicts and challenges presented throughout the decades lead up to their final battleground—the Vietnam War. Once an Eagle is required reading for West Point and Marine Corps cadets.
