A Civil War: Army vs. Navy - A Year Inside College Football's Purest Rivalry by John Feinstein
3.0
Man, I was happy to finish this book. It just seemed to drag on to the conclusion, and when you know the final score of the Army-Navy game that year, it takes a little of the anticipation out of it (if you are a Navy fan, anyway).
I got pretty tired of the rah-rah sports cliches expounded by both players and coaches over the course of the season, but getting some behind the scenes glimpses into service academy football was insightful.
I would have liked to have read a history of the rivalry, which players and coaches went on to play in the NFL, distinguished themselves in battle, etc.
