ISBN-13:
AUTHOR: Lars Anderson
PAGES: 272
FORMAT: 

War and football are often used as metaphors for each other, and there is a rich legacy of connections between the gridiron and the battlefield in American history. Taking this legacy as his starting point, Sports Illustrated journalist Anderson uses the 1941 Army vs. Navy game as the anchor for a number of stories: of four American servicemen, of Annapolis and West Point, of the early history of college football and of America's armed forces during the 1930s and 40s. Not surprisingly, the soldiers' experiences during WWII are gripping, but the book is more than just a chronicle of the war's events. Readers will be inspired by the sacrifices boys made just for the chance to attend America's premier military academies, the difficulties that faced them once they arrived and the glory that attended success on and off the playing field. Most football fans will be amazed at the oddities of how the game was once played.
