Shortly after this unforgettable game, many of the players and coaches left their respective colleges, entered the military, and went on to serve around the world in famous battlegrounds, from Iwo Jima and Okinawa to Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, where fate and destiny would bring them back together on faraway battlefields, fighting on the same team. Fields of Battle is a powerful story that sheds light on a little-known slice of American history where World War II and football intersect. Author Brian Curtis captures in gripping detail an intimate account of the teamwork, grit, and determination that took place on both the football and battle fields"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54817 Cu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54817 Cu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54817 Cu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54817 Cu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
