For four years at West Point nobody spoke to him except on duty, and he graduated regardless. Flipper was the first Black man to take a commission out of the academy, and his account of the silence, the drill and the daily arithmetic of being twice as correct as everyone around him is written without a trace of self-pity, which makes it land harder.
