Reviews
"A superb description of modern military culture and one of the most gripping accounts of university life. . . . Powerful. . . . Wonderfully told." The New York Times Book Review "David Lipsky's up close and personal account of life at West Point is a national service. It takes the reader deep inside one of America's most important institutions."--Tom Brokaw "Addictive . . . a story that could inspire even nonmilitary buffs to follow the cadets' careers like those of their favorite sports heroes." Newsweek "A fascinating, funny and tremendously well written account of life on the Long Gray Line. Take a good look: this is the face America turns to most of the world, and until now it's one that most of us have never seen."-Time "Immesely rich. . . . A genuinely evocative and wonderfully detailed portrait of an absolutely American institution." Newsday "Wonderfully engaging, a surprisingly nuanced portrait of these cadets."-The Atlanta Journal-Consitution "Duty, Honor, Casual Sex: Plain American hedonism is powerful at West Point, David Lipsky found, but so are discipline and self-sacrifice . . . A superb description of modern military culture, and one of the most gripping accounts of university life I have read. This book must have been extremely hard to organize, and yet it reads with a novelistic flow. How teenagers get turned into leaders is not a simple story, but it is wonderfully told in this book." David Brooks,The New York Times Book Review "A labour of love. While Lipsky's friends back home wrestled with nagging, existential questions, he steeped himself in the demanding yet salubrious routines of cadet life, reveling in the youngsters' comaraderie and marveling at their commitment to the academy's core values, "Duty, Honor, Country." The result is an immensely rich collection of portraits of young men and women put under very adult pressure by an insitution that itself must constantly adapt to the society around it. Lipsky [establishes] a dramatic tension that holds for the next 300-plus pages. [A] genuinely evocative and wonderfully detailed portrait of an absolutely American institution."Newsday "A fascinating, funny and tremendously well written account of life on the Long Gray Line. Lipsky approaches the cadets like an anthropologist stalking the elusive Yanomamo tribe, and with good reason: he's in a weird, weird place. Take a good look: this is the face America turns to most of the world, and until now it's one that most of us have never seen. A mesmerizing and powerfully human spectacle"Time Magazine "Masculinity has traditionally been associated with the military.Absolutely American, which vividly traces West Point cadets through their four years at the Academy, deals with both sexes and tells a lot about the changing definitions and conditions of masculinity and femininity in the new century."Elaine Showalter,The Washington Post Book World "Illuminating. . .Lipsky has done a distinguished service to a proud school."Entertainment Weekly "Although confined to one geographic area,Absolutely Americancovers a vast sociological, political and psychological landscape. . .neither an institutional hagiography nor a scathing, Seymour Hersh-like exposé, [this] is an assiduously researched, evenhanded examination that focuses on the changing value systems of the institution and the people who experience those changes.
