<p>The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Education (Penguin USA)
by Craig M. Mullaney (Author)</p>
<p>I’ve heard great things about this book, which just came out and I have on order. </p>
<p>Mullaney is a WP grad and Rhodes Scholar who taught @ USNA and served in Afghanistan. The pre-reviews on Unforgiving Minute are just amazing (from the reviewers as diverse as Rolling Stone, General Petraeus, and Vanity Fair). </p>
<p>I’m a USNA mother w/ no motive for recommending this – it’s just tough to find reading re: any Academy, and this sounds like something special. Plus this first-time author sounds like a real talent and a great guy, and I hope he’s successful.</p>
