Pat Conroy was a Citadel Grad...He wrote many books..The Lords of Discipline for one but I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for. He wrote many novels. Too Bad they don't publish SMC's for idiots books.I'm trying to locate a book written by a Citadel graduate about the Citadel. I'm sure several have been written. Does anyone know the name of an author or the title of such book?
The Lords of Discipline was written about an SMC in a different era. Prospective students should take it with a grain of salt, although it is an excellent read. While I can't speak for The Citadel, I am amazed how much different things are now at Norwich than when I attended. Older grads like to say that it's easier, but the fact is that the "kids" look just as sharp on Alumni Weekend than they ever did. It is not easier, just different.
