This close and personal portrayal of that time is absolutely genuine and engaging. The author evokes the truth about an American Institution that is so revealing that the reader will immediately appreciate why this story has never been told before!"Not a single word of that blather is even remotely true. I'm a USMA grad and will tell you that there are no "forced marches" in the middle of the night at Camp Buckner to "weed out the weak." Girls are not falling all over themselves to have sex with cadets. Instructors are not simply "administrators" of test material who are only one day ahead in learning the subjects they teach.This book is unreadable - I skimmed it and got angrier with each page. The author talks a lot about his own wisdom and strength and perseverance. But he introduces himself as one who wanted to get the free education and then put up with the Army for five years as obligated. He entered the academy with no intention of a military career - just work the system to get the education he says was delivered by incompetent instructors. All the training he so detested and immediately identified as bogus continues to affect him to the point he still has to "put my mind in neutral."Here's an example of the nonsensical fiction this anonymous author wants you to believe is true and genuine:From page 99 talking about Camp Buckner: "The training was designed to weed out the less strong cadets, both physically and emotionally. Daily 20 mile forced marches, some at 5 AM and some at 10PM were the most effective tools in embarrassing weaker cadets out of the corps. They fell like flies and needed to be medically evacuated. I was fine with it because of my previous experience doing 20 mile hikes with the Boy Scouts.""fell like flies." "had to be medically evacuated" - fortunately for the author, he was in good shape because of the 20 mile hikes when he was a Scout. Think of it - "daily 20 mile forced marches" A brisk walk is 4 mph. A hike with combat pack might average 3 mph so that, if there are no breaks taken, this author would have you believe the academy spends nearly seven hours a day on forced marches to "weed out the less strong." The academy designed a program, he says, to cause the weaker to "drop like flies" who had to be "medically evacuated."There is not a single page that I saw while skimming that was not the same kind of nonsensical ranting. The book can be summed up easily - garbage spewed by a person who is angry, anxious and suffers low self esteem. Apparently he thought spewing this nonsensical fiction would be cathartic. For his sake, I hope it worked.If you buy this book you will feel very foolish after the first page. If the author wants to challenge my assessment, I'll be glad to have the discussion - on one condition. Identify yourself.

The author is perhaps a bright individual but hopelessly cynical. As a fellow graduate, I could certainly relate to some of the experiences but disagree with his conclusions. Specifically, I thought the Honor Code was truly well-considered and thoughtfully managed in the mid-80's when I was there. I graduated with a true sense of Duty, Honor, Country and an appreciation for the process of building leaders of character. It was not perfect, but it was very good and I think sets an example that other leadership institutions have modeled over the years. Typing West Point in lower case throughout the book was sophomoric. Don't buy this book.

Interesting book for anyone who has attended West Point, thinks he might attend, or is interested in better understanding the origins of ”Army Think.” USMA is a first person account of the trials and tribulations of a young man from upstate New York attending West Point in the late 60s and early 70s. It includes all the details of the prevailing Army mindset and what happens when that culture is confronted by an intelligent liberal-thinker bent on surviving four years in what turns out to be decidedly not the “Normal College Experience.” (Spoiler alert: The Army wins) Written in an easy to read if not occasionally overwrought style, this first time author tells it as it was and, unfortunately, probably still is. In some ways WSMA is a bit like an officer’s Biloxi Blues for the Viet Nam generation. It’s a quick enjoyable read that will make you shake your head and occasionally smile. Good gift for that West Point grad.
