A Civil War: Army vs. Navy Tag - A Year Inside College Football's Purest Rivalry
About this ebook
A Civil War presents college football in its purest form: two teams that play for the love of the game and for the honor of their schools, rather than for money or fame. As John Feinstein follows the Army and Navy football teams through an entire season, he vividly captures the emotions, the strategies, the personalities, and the behind-the-scenes struggles. His book culminates in a play-by-play account of the teams’ dramatic year-end face-off, a game in which a daredevil fourth-down touchdown attempt leads to a startling come-from-behind victory.
