author:  Preston George Pysh 
description: &quot;As a former West Point professor, I can say with full confidence that Preston's book is one of the most captivating, humorous, and enlightening books on the institution. His first hand account and understanding of leadership principles are a standout compared to other books in its class. This is a must read for any service academy candidate or emerging leader.&quot;<br> <br> Lieutenant Colonel Hank Taylor<br> OH-58D Kiowa Squadron Commander<br> 101st Airborne Division, Kandahar, AF<br> <br> <br> &quot;The most comical, yet serious insight one will ever read on West Point with valuable lessons from which all civilian and military leaders can benefit.&quot;<br> <br> Major Adam Berlew<br> Operations Officer, Defense Logistics Agency<br> Kandahar, AF<br> <br> <br> &quot;Insightful, witty, thought provoking. CPT Preston Pysh gives an insightful journey through our nation's most prestigious military academy. He also shares in vivid detail the development of a young man that would eventually transform into a highly successful, combat tested AH-64D Longbow Company Commander. Mandatory reading for those bound for service in our military forces.&quot; <br> <br> Lieutenant Colonel Scott Hasken<br> AH-64D Apache Battalion Commander<br> 101st Airborne Division, Tarin Kowt, AF<br> <br> <br> &quot;I have had the honor of observing CPT Preston Pysh successfully command an AH-64D company in combat. His ability to translate his personal experience into insightful leadership lessons is indicative of his outstanding leadership style. Well written, entertaining, and thoughtfully crafted, this is a must read for junior officers and civilian leaders.&quot;<br> <br> Major Bernard Harrington<br> Brigade Operations Officer<br> 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, Kandahar, AF<br> <br> <br> &quot;Nation, I want you to go to Amazon.com, and buy yourself a copy of Captain Pysh's Book, The Diary of a West Point Cadet. It is funny, it is touching, it is thought provoking, and that's just the cover.&quot; <br> <br> Stephen Colbert<br> Comedy Central's Colbert Report
