In 1980 the Soviet Union had dominated the world of hockey for nearly 30
years. Nobody thought the USSR's hockey team could be beaten in the
Winter Olympics. But US Hockey coach Herb Brooks didn't believe that. He
pulled together a ragtag team of amateur hockey players and molded them
into a team that could compete with the best teams in the world. Through
months of hard work and determination, the US team achieved the
impossible and defeated the dreaded Soviets. Readers will get a
thrilling up-close look at the story of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team
and their miraculous victory in Lake Placid, New York.
