Burning the Days: Recollection

Rating:
Summary: Brilliant
Review: This is a must read for anyone even remotely associated with West Point. His description of Beast Barracks could very well have been written about the one I experienced nearly thirty years later:
...an ominous noise, alive, that flared when the door was
opened like the roar of a furnace.
Later chapters are filled with sadness and ultimately regret; but an honest accounting of one's life must necessarily be so.
Throughout, the writing never falters. He has taken his own advice and removed everything that was good enough, leaving, for us, the best.
