Not coincidentally, the sport of football naturally employs terms
usually associated with war, such as "aerial attack," "blitz," and
"trench warfare." During World War II, the U. S. military and
colleges joined forces, fielding competitive teams to prepare men
for combat. The book highlights the Department of the Navy's role
in preserving the game and football's impact on national morale and
the war effort through their "Lend-Lease" to colleges of officer
candidates, including All-America and professional players. It
describes wartime college and military football throughout the
globe and features a foreword by veteran ESPN college football
commentator Beano Cook. It contains 81 photographs and
illustrations; listings of college and military teams, records,
scores, big games, and statistics; player and team profiles; and a
glossary of period football terminology.
