In A Time of War-A MUST READ

Colleges and Universities A-Z Service Academy Parents
1

<p>Although this is about the graduating class of 2002 at the USMA, it is a book that every Service Academy parent needs to read.</p>

<p>It is funny, smart, exciting and heartbreaking at the same time. All of us SAP's(ha ha my new acronym for service academy parents) can see their kid in some aspect of the book.</p>

<p>God this book is good!!! Any parent with a kid at any of the service academies will appreciate and love every word.</p>

<p>I was gonna write a book but after reading this I doubt if I'll ever put a pen to paper again!! Ha ha just kidding but this is awesome. Kind of a sequel to "Absolutely American" the great book about four years at West Point. </p>

<p>Pulitzer Prize material in my not so humble opinion. Pick it up as soon as you can...but warning, you won't be able to put it down.</p>

<p>I read the first few pages of the first chapter on Amazon.com:</a> Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more and was not impressed. But I keep hearing it is a good book - thanks for the review Bossf51 - I will read more than a chapter soon, I promise.</p>

<p>Not to be disrespectful mom but you've go to be kidding me. Read the whole first chapter...if you feel the same, ok, move on. But I find it difficult to believe any SAP can't find their son's or daughter's story somewhere in there. I can point out about ten similarites to my situation in the first chapter alone. End of sermon.</p>

<p>Sermon received and duly noted. I will report back after reading the book, Sir. :)</p>
