Title: Whinny
Review: I read this book awhile back and I was not impressed. Truscott sounded like a self-righteous and bitter crybaby who probably should have spent his college years back in the 60's with all the other hippies. I am sure West Point has its problems but the way that Truscott eviscerates the school you really have to wonder is it that bad? I also did not get a good sense of what the school was like for the cadets. I mean apart from plebe year how was it for the average upperclass cadet? If you want to read a book about a military college that celebrates both the good and the bad evenly. I recomend The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy. A Sense of Honor by James Webb. Or even the Academy by Ed Ruggero. West Point actually banned this book for 20 years, and probably for the first time my life I can probably say that I agree with a book banning.
