About book Duty First: West Point And The Making Of American Leaders (2001)

Since I live within 30 minutes of west point and this book was recommended as a good book on business leadership I took a gander. The book details life of the cadets. An underlying theme is the change in West point from demeaning cadets to building them up to now motivating the cadets and giving micro responsibilities with open feedback. The author to alumni who had the harsh treatment as cadets and they argue the cruel treatment prepared them for the stresses of battle. A second theme is the balance of enforcing the honor code while helping mold cadets.The book was challenging in trying to track a few students through the first year (like trying to catch characters on 24, they are always doing something) and I thought not well written, repetitive to the point that you can see the point the author is trying to make in 7 different ways.
