Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point by David Lipsky

5.0

This book was absolutely fantastic. Whether or not you have any interest in the military, I highly recommend reading it. This book offered so much beyond just a peek at the kids who attend this school and the adults who supervise them. It followed all their lives, personal and professional, and their careers—careers that so few of us civilians ever choose to take on. There were times when I was disappointed by these people and their attitudes; other times, I was blown away by their integrity and selflessness. No matter what, this book and the stories in it were amazing to read. I loved losing myself in it.
