<p>Try “Duty First” and “In a Time of War”—both books specifically about West Point and some of its cadets and graduates. The former focuses on the West Point experience with the latter focusing on several graduates of WP’s class of 2002 and their sacrifice in Iraq.</p>

<p>I found Duty First the single best description of life at West Point, especially life during Beast.
In a Time of War is not for the faint of heart–it a brutally honest depiction.</p>
