Accidental Soldier depicts Richard B. Schwartz's military
experiences, first as an ROTC cadet at the University of Notre Dame
and finally as an Army veteran teaching in Madison, Wisconsin. In
1959, Vietnam was little more than a word on a map; within ten
years, Americans saw the Tet Offensive and their campuses in
flames. Schwartz was at the ground zeroes of that time, teaching at
the United States Military Academy from 1967-69 and then going to
the University of Wisconsin, Madison, just after the Dow riots and
before the bombing of Sterling Hall. The central portion of the
book focuses upon Schwartz's experience at West Point, its cadets,
officer corps and system of education. A sequel to his
award-winning memoir, The Biggest City in America, Accidental
Soldier reflects upon his military and academic experience through
the perspective of an over forty-year teaching career, twenty-nine
of which were spent as a dean at Wisconsin, Georgetown and the
University of Missouri, Columbia.
