"Nestled in the mountains of central Vermont, Norwich University is the last private military school in America. Students there not only study a full course load, but undergo a strict regimen of mental, physical and emotional training designed to forge leaders. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS follows four "rooks"--freshman recruits--through their first year, from saying goodbye to their parents to the emotional ceremony where they receive official recognition as full-fledged cadets. Through the experiences of these students, CADETS offers a fascinating look at the unique responsibilities and rewards afforded by a military education."
