Craig Mullaney's The Unforgiving Minute. Story of going through West Point, Ranger School, transitioning to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and then serving as a 2nd lieutenant in Afghanistan.

Easily the best story I've read in a long time. Insanely powerful but very aware, funny, and humble. Also really authentic and enjoyable writing. Would recommend to any serviceperson, and especially to any skeptic.
