Title: Goes against what the cadets themselves say
Review: I bought this book at USMA after finishing an overnight there, and read about a third of it on the way home. The book (written only in 2000) completely contradicts what other publications and cadets themselves (particularly Plebes) told me regarding Beast, academics, military training, etc., and some of the admission data was inaccurate. Aside from this, the writing is horrible and the author often drones on at times. You get the feeling that you are reading the script from a 1950s newsreel at times. On a positive note, when interviewing members of the math and chemistry department, one can see what they should brush up on before the go to the Academy. Do not buy this book if you are seeking admission, and even if you have your appointment, in my opinion it was still a waste of money.
