Description
Lipsky, a Rolling Stone writer and an
award-winning novelist, chronicles daily life at
the U.S. Military Academy during the most
tumultuous period in its history.In 1998, West
Point made David Lipsky an unprecedented offer
stay at the Academy as long as you like, go
wherever you wish, talk to whomever you want, to
discover why some of America's most
promising young people sacrifice so much to
become cadets. Lipsky followed one cadet class
into mess halls, barracks, classrooms, bars, and
training exercises, from arrival
through graduation. By telling their stories, he
also examines the Academy as a reflection of
our society Are its principles of equality,
patriotism, and honor quaint anachronisms or is
it still, as Theodore Roosevelt called it, the
most quotabslutely Americanquotinstitution?Durin
g arguably the most eventful four years in West
Point's history, Lipsky witnesses the arrival
of TVs and phones in dorm rooms, the end of
hazing, and innumerable other shifts in
policy and practice known collectively as The
Changes. He uncovers previously
unreported scandals and poignantly evokes the
aftermath of September 11, when cadets must
prepare to become officers in wartime.Absolutely
American spotlights a remarkable ensemble
of characters a former Eagle Scout who struggles
with every facet of the program, from classwork
to marching a foul-mouthed party animal who hates
the military and came to West Point to play
football a farm-raised kid who seems to be the
perfect soldier, despite his affection for the
early work of Georgia O8217Keffe and an
exquisitely turned-out female cadet who aspires
to quotacareer in hair and nailsquotafter the
Army. These cadets and their classmates are
transformed in fascinating, sometimes
astonishing, ways by one of
7
America's most mythologized and least understood
challenges. Many of them thrive under the
rigorous regimen others battle endlessly just to
survive it. A few give up the fight altogether.Lip
sky's extensive experience covering college
students for Rolling Stone helped him gain an
exceptional degree of trust and candor from both
cadets and administrators. They offer frank
insights on drug use, cheating, romance, loyalty,
duty, patriotism, and the Army's tortuous search
for meaning as new threats loom.
