Author Ivan Doig takes readers on a fascinating voyage through two years of World War II, as seen through the eyes of Ben Reinking, quarterback of Treasure State University's undefeated "Supreme Team".  As Ben follows in the footsteps of his 10 teammates reporting on their adventures, triumphs and loss, he searches for purpose in his life, always wondering what might happen to that life if the odds don't go his way.

Although the action occurs during WWII, this book is not about the war.  This story is one of strong men and women struggling against events that do not bend to individual will.  You will root for each character as you follow their life from that glorious time on the gridiron to what awaits on the battlefields of WWII.  This intriguing read will bind readers to their chair until the last page is turned and the book is closed.
