He is the author of " Breakthrough Entrepreneurship " (with Jon Burgstone), ". The Intelligent Entrepreneur ," and "In a Time of War.". Previously, he reported for The Washington Post. It is the true story of a group of West Point cadets from the Class of 2002 starting with what led them to West Point. The Class of 2002 were at the beginning of their senior year when 9/11 happened. They were the first class to graduate from West Point after 9/11. The group focused on consisted mainly of a handful of members of the Class of 2002 who were assigned to Company D-1 (Company D, 1st Regiment) during their four academic years at West Point. There are about 25 to 30 cadets from each class in each company. Cadets are assigned to other units during the four summers before they graduate. "They had joined an army at peace, but in their time at the United States Military Academy the world around them changed forever. Just after the cadets in West Point's bicentennial class began their senior year, terrorists attacked America. The following June, when President George W. Bush spoke at their graduation and declared that the United States would "take the battle to the enemy," the men and women of the class of 2002 knew they would be fighting on the front lines. In this account of the five years following their graduation, the Army's newest, youngest officers lead their soldiers into harm's way and experience both the rewards and the costs of answering their country's call." "In a Time of War tells the story of the soldiers and their families who have proudly served and sacrificed so much." Bill Murphy Jr.'s book follows these brave and idealistic officers - and their classmates and families - through more than five years of war. In a Time of War is a story about courage, honor, and what war really means to the men and women whose lives it defines.
