A Civil War: Army Vs. Navy

a year inside college football's purest rivalry

Plot

For more than a century, the Army-Navy game has been one of college football's fiercest rivalries, unique in that it preserves the purity and intensity that once were almost universal in college athletics. The players at West Poitn and Annapolis are in the game for the love of it - virtually all of them go on not to lucrative pro careers but to service as officers int he armed forces. Their passion for football - the game itself, and what it means to a community - is at the heart of this dramatic and moving story. This is Feinstein's account of one extraordinary year in Army adn Navy football, the breathtaking 1995 campaign. He followed both teams through the year, attending their practices and classes, relaxing with them in their limited free time, standing with them on the sideline at their gaame.
