A review by grahamiam
Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point by David Lipsky

5.0

Really remarkable book, some of the best non-fiction I've ever read. Not what I would imagine at all for a "book about West Point". Pacing is perfect, and Lipsky is a master of interjecting just enough literary color into events to make them more vivid than real life.

Edit - here's a link to an interview with Lipsky about this book. Good introduction to the subject - http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/1610
