The Supe: A Novel of West Point

John Vermillion served in the US Army as a career infantry officer, Airborne and Ranger qualified. He attended all the standard military schools through the War College. He earned a BS from West Point before continuing on to earn three additional degrees.

The author believes the main cause of America’s present, pervasive problems is a dearth of leadership throughout society, and that if the leadership vacuum created our problems, filling the vacuum can solve them. The Supe shows the vast positive influence one genuine leader can trigger.

Like the best leaders he encountered, the author respects Reason and the stoic code, as does protagonist Simon Pack.
