520 2 "In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the 1942 Rose
Bowl was moved from Pasadena to Duke University out of
fear of further Japanese attacks on the West Coast.
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"--|cProvided
