Craig Mullaney, my classmate from grad school, is at #10 on the NY Times bestseller list for hardcover non-fiction (for the second week in a row). His book, The Unforgiving Minute, is the story of his time at West Point, Oxford, and Afghanistan.
If you need some persuasion to part with your money, check out Vanity Fair’s excerpt from the book, about Craig’s boxing match in Afghanistan.

I haven't read Craig Mullaney's book but I did see him when Jon Stewart interviewed him on TDS. He strikes me as quite an exceptional individual and his story seems fully deserving of its place on the best seller list.
