PROLOGUE
Milton, Massachusetts: June 1, 2003
A bright afternoon sun beamed down on Milton Academy as the Class of
2003 graduation ceremony drew to a close. Parents and grandparents waded
frantically between metal folding chairs, scrambling to organize family
photographs. Through the commotion, two of Milton’s top students found a quiet
moment under a sprawling oak to reflect on their boarding school experience and
say their goodbyes.
They had begun their time at Milton as total strangers but quickly
became the best of friends.
Along with a love of American history, they enjoyed competitive sports,
beer pong, and dating coeds. The two young men shook hands under the tree and
promised to stay in touch. Both were heading to top military schools, and each
had a deeply personal reason for wanting to serve their country. James Francis
Keenan was off to the United States Naval Academy. His roommate, Jiang Peng, was
heading home to Beijing, to attend the People’s Liberation Army National
Defense School.
As the elated graduates and their exhausted families departed the day’s
ceremonies, they strolled beneath the school’s original stone archway inscribed
with the Academy’s motto: Dare to Be
True. The motto dated back to
1898. No one could have imagined that the survival of the free world would
someday depend on it.
