Battles at Annapolis: Two Remarkable Football Games in the Army-Navy Rivalry
Description
Description
Battles at Annapolis presents the context of the two most recent Army-Navy football games at the US Naval Academy, in 1893 and 1942. One game was played in peacetime before a rowdy, alcohol-fueled crowd. The second game was played in the early months of World War II before a sparse, deeply patriotic crowd. Both games would impact the service academies, the broader community, and the unique personalities who represented Army and Navy on the field, on the sidelines, and in the stands.

Critical Reviews
"The Army-Navy game is an American classic. These days, the stories of the games played at Annapolis are not widely known but this book will change that. These were intense games played by talented, patriotic players and it's wonderful to see this story being told."
