When Army General Harris Green begins to suspect that President Keith Rozan’s halting leadership of the US military will lead to catastrophic results for the country down the line, General Green must ask himself an important question: Should a military leader forsake his commissioning oath when a president acts outside the bounds of the Constitution?
Tipped off by White House aides that President Rozan has imminent plans to change the character, purpose, and future of the US Military Academy, General Green realizes he must take action. And he knows just the man with the courage and character to fight Washington from behind the Superintendent’s desk at West Point: Marine General Simon Pack.
Hardheaded and unswervingly devoted to his missions, General Pack resigned from the US Marine Corps out of revulsion at the rise of careerism among senior leaders. But with time running out, will General Green persuade him to return to active duty to save the Academy’s future—and the future of the US military?
A thought-provoking and controversial story that asks hard questions about military-civilian relations, The Supe is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the military in this country.

About the Author
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.

I can state with authority that this outstanding cadet went on to become an even better career Army Officer By Chopper Man Having known the author, John Vermillion, since our plebe year together at West Point in 1966, I can state with authority that this outstanding cadet went on to become an even better career Army Officer. Although we never served together following graduation from the Academy, I could follow John’s career success by his reputation alone, starting with Airborne and Ranger Schools and then a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam where he stayed in the jungle with his troops and not behind a desk. His dedication to duty and willingness to incessantly “do the right thing” formed the warrior ethos of this career Army Infantry Officer.Building on the author’s own foundation of selfless service and deep respect for Reason and the Stoic Code, the protagonist of Vermillion’s first novel, The Supe, General Simon Pack, a retired Marine General and West Point graduate, is recalled to active duty to serve as the Superintendent of West Point. The book is impossible to put down as the reader is engaged fully as Pack systematically begins to dismantle the minefield of political correctness that surrounds the Academy. Forced repeatedly to choose the gut-wrenching “harder right” versus “the easy wrong,” especially regarding the Army Football Team, his decisions are not always popular with some—as will be the case with this novel.John Vermillion has written outstanding fiction, but the issues are most real. And, for that reason alone, this book should be mandatory reading for all leaders everywhere. With suspenseful page-turning action, The Supe demonstrates the compelling difference one genuine, selfless leader can make in our increasingly jaded and self-infused world.

A very interesting and compelling story of the threats to our nation's military leaders--the United States Military Academy at West Point. A great read for anyone who cares about our nation's future! I hope the author continues to write as he has a great talent. This book would make a great movie!

The author tackles head on the issue of political correctness and the debilitating impact it has on leader development at West Point! The nation's citizens expect that West Point graduates will be educated and trained to lead soldiers in defense of national security! Vermillion's book illustrates how easily West Point's mission can be derailed.
