Originally bought by another colleague who has since moved on. I liked getting the perspective of a West Point cadet, an Oxford scholar, and Afghanistan-stationed soldier. The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldiers Education does Mullaney keep coming back to this theme? Are his leadership skills acquired and learned or are they an inherent and intrinsic part of his character? It's an all-inclusive account from his first year at West Point to when he leaves the Army. He recognizes many things that qualify as education for a well rounded person: photography, travel, wines, cooking, and dressing properly as a civilian. West Point and Oxford lasted six years. Mullaney portrays this contrast quite dramatically between his experiences in WestPoint, Airborne, Ranger School and followed by the more classic education in Oxford. Was Mullaney able to resolve these conflicts? Dunham rated it liked it. Most the The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldiers Education actually covers his training before the war, which I found very interesting. He lives in Washington, D. I also learned a little about his personal life and how he overcame challenges in dating and marriage, from not only being a soldier but also with cultural differences with his espoused and how they made it work. Feb 10, Hans rated it really liked it. Mullaney's intelligence comes through this book, especially in his choice of chapter epigraphs from the likes of Shakespeare and Dante.
