Heisman Trophy winners Glenn Davis and Felix Blanchard--renowned during
their playing days at West Point as "Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside"--were
the best-known college football players in the country between 1944 and
1946, and Army was the nation's top-ranked team under legendary coach
Red Blaik. Acclaimed author Jack Cavanaugh takes readers through the
Black Knights' three consecutive National Championship seasons,
including the 1946 "Game of the Century" between Army and Notre Dame,
the only college game to date to have included four Heisman Trophy
winners. Cavanaugh also examines the impact the war had on Army's
success--because its players were already considered to be in the
military and thus deferred from active duty while students at West
Point, Army featured many outstanding high school and prep school
players in those years. A unique look at the changes that took place in
sports and almost every aspect of American life in the wake of World War
II, this book a must-read for fans of college football and military
buffs in addition to Army fans.
