    WEST POINTS own "ARGONAUTS"  QUEST: capture of the NAVY goat
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017*

Tom Carhart's book is not just about cadets "stealing" the Navy mascot ( a goat if you don't know) but about the lives of these young men during their four years as cadets at West Point.  These cadets and those a few years before and after 1966, faced serving our country during the escalation of the Vietnam War. The author describes the West Point years with passion as their experiences create character, courage, AND commitment while the mantra:  DUTY-HONOR-COUNTRY takes hold.  Because cadet life intertwines with the heist, the reader grasps an understanding of the struggles and accomplishments of these young men. There are terse moments and hilarity during the adventure itself, thus the book is a very enjoyable read.  I highly recommend this book to all, but especially those with any West Point connection as myself.  I am a daughter of West Point '37 and a brother in the author's W.P. class of 1966.

    Review of: The GOLDEN FLEECE, High – Risk Adventure at West Point.
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017*

Review of: The GOLDEN FLEECE, High – Risk Adventure at West Point.By Tom Carhart  West Point 1966This book, well written by a ’66 Grad who is an accomplished author, is about the purloinment – not an actual theft since the property would be returned after the escapade – of the mascot of The Midshipmen of The U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis -- a goat named Billy XIV-- one week before the Army-Navy football game in 1965.The book actually starts out that way, with the cadets who planned the project, including the author, reconnoitering the habitat of the animal at the most secure section of the Severna Park Naval Security Station (SPNSS) in Maryland.The tale then swiftly changes to a very accurate and detailed rendition of cadet life at West Point – one of the very best that the reviewer has ever had the pleasure of reading – from the time a young man – no females were allowed until the 1970’s – entered on their first day, until graduation, 47 months later. It details just how difficult the operation would be to pull off, with the rules, regulations and lack of time facing West Point cadets.Indeed the cadets did succeed in capturing the goat and housing him at a farm a few hours from West Point. Then they put out the word to other cadets that they had the Navy Goat, a fact later confirmed by radio and newspaper articles.This information found its way to the academy Superintendent in record time. The man became almost apoplectic, ordering his chain of command to find the culprits. Pressure built, so the Goatnappers left after taps one night, brought their prize back to West Point and hid him in the Mule barn to get through the morning and present Goat to Corps at High Noon inside Washington Hall. But someone turned them in, and suddenly there were M.P.s everywhere.The Navy Goat, having been found, was taken back to Annapolis in a convoy, so the six cadets decided to hold a rally, with Army/Navy weekend coming up. And during that rally, they told the Corps of their deed – and identified themselves – which set themselves up for punishment.The six men were punished but the reviewer declines to specify how, preferring the readers find out for themselves.This is a relatively short book, extremely well written, a treat for any graduate of USMA, an eye opener for anyone else, a real page-turner.The reviewer, Thomas W. Leo, CPP, is a Graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point.The book is available at the West Point Cadet bookstore, and wherever books are sold, including Amazon.  2017
