Driven by the memory of a fallen teammate, TSU's 1941 starting
lineup went down as legend in Montana football history, charging
through the season undefeated. Two years later, the "Supreme Team"
is caught up in World War II. Ten of them are scattered around the
globe in the war's lonely and dangerous theaters. The eleventh man,
Ben Reinking, has been plucked from pilot training by a military
propaganda machine hungry for heroes. He is to chronicle the
adventures of his teammates, man by man, for publication in
small-town newspapers across the country like the one his father
edits. Ready for action, he chafes at the assignment, not knowing
that it will bring him love from an unexpected quarter and test the
law of averages, which holds that all but one of his teammates
should come through the conflict unscathed. A brilliantly told tale
of the effects of war on small town life by the bestselling author
of "The Whistling Season."
