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
