A Civil War: Army vs. Navy, A Year Inside College Football's Purest Rivalry - by by John Feinstein

I would highly recommend it to any parent of an athlete at the academy or for anyone considering going to an academy. It is primarily about Army and Navy but gets a few mentions of Air Force in there. USAFA is 'hated' by Navy and Army according to the author, John Feinstein. But the book gives some glimpses of academy life, especially as it pertains to athletics. --Bill Wyatt
