The Vietnam War . . .
Nixon . . .
Kent State . . .
The late 1960s and early 1970s were a time of total turmoil in
America-the country was being torn apart by a war most people
didn't support, young men were being taken away by the draft, and
racial tensions were high. Nowhere was this turmoil more evident
than on college campuses, the epicenters of the protest movement.
The uncertain times presented a challenge to two of the greatest
football coaches of all time. Woody Hayes, the legendary
archconservative coach of Ohio State, feared for the future of
America. His protege and rival, Bo Schembechler of the University
of Michigan, didn't want to be bothered by these "distractions."
Hayes worshipped General George S. Patton and was friends with
President Richard Nixon. Schembechler befriended President Gerald
Ford, a former captain and team MVP for the Wolverines.
In this enthralling book, Michael Rosenberg dramatically weaves the
campus unrest and political upheaval into the story of Hayes and
Schembechler. Their rivalry began with Schembechler arriving in
protest-heavy Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the height of the Vietnam
War. It ended with Hayes wondering what had happened to his
country. War As They Knew It is a sobering and fascinating look at
two iconic coaches and a different generation.
