Absolutely American by David Lipsky
Four Years at West Point
An immersive, intimate portrait of life at the United States Military Academy at West Point that follows a cohort of cadets through the rigors, rituals and social dynamics of their training; the narrative explores the daily grind of classes, drills, punishments and the honor code while tracing how young men and women struggle to reconcile individuality with the demands of an institution that aims to remake them into officers. Through close reporting and deeply human profiles, it captures the humor, ambition, anxiety, camaraderie and moral dilemmas of coming of age under intense discipline and the looming responsibility of service.
