<DIV><B>The #1&#160;<I>New York Times</I>&ndash;bestselling author&rsquo;s story about life at the Citadel in the 1960s, a profound exploration of what it means to be a man of honor.</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Lt. Col. Nugent Courvoisie, known to the cadets as &ldquo;the Boo,&rdquo; is an imposing and inspiring leader at the South Carolina military academy, the Citadel. A harsh disciplinarian but a compassionate mentor, he guides and inspires his young charges.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Cadet Peter Cates is an anomaly. He is a gifted writer, a talented basketball player, and a good student, but his outward successes do little to impress his abusive father. The Boo takes Cates under his wing, but their bond is threatened when they&rsquo;re forced to confront an act of violence on campus.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Drawn from Pat Conroy&rsquo;s own experiences as a student at the Citadel, <I>The Boo</I> is an unforgettable story about duty, loyalty, and standing up for what is right in the face of overwhelming circumstances.</DIV>
