26278. Hughes, Joseph Henry Jr., A COVENANT WITH HONOR – An American “Lord Jim”. Lawndale. 1982. 3rd. 413p. Soft wraps. Frank V. Helmer, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, writes of this book: “The United States Coast Guard Academy subjects its cadets to a regime that is physically arduous and mentally demanding. Each graduating Ensign takes with him, in addition to a fund of academic and professional training, his personal triumph over discouragement and fatigue. From my own cadet days, and from my tour as Assistant Superintendent of the Academy, I have had a feeling for the daily struggle that each cadet meets in his own way, but until I read this book I had never seen that feeling reflected in print. As a cadet, Joseph Hughes met his days with courage and enthusiasm. He grew in maturity and self discipline. Tragically, his career as an officer ended before it had begun, but the picture of his life as it unfolds on these pages will stand as a memorial to him, even as it serves as an inspiration to all who read it.” This poignant account includes 15 chapters that span the time-frame from the early 1950s to 1964.
