All American - Steve Eubanks - Bog

Bag om All American

In December 2001, as fires still burned beneath the World Trade Center ruins, West Point cadet Chad Jenkins and Naval Academy midshipman Brian Stann faced off in what would become the most-watched college football game of the decade: the matchup between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen.With his team down by thirteen points, Stann, a Navy linebacker, came into contact with Jenkins, the Army quarterback, for the first time. Though these two players would not meet again for another decade, Stann and Jenkins shared the same path: both served in the Iraq War, led soldiers, and witnessed unimaginable events.A moving and fascinating dual profile of honor, duty, courage, and competition, All American is a thoughtful exploration of American character and values, embodied in the lives of two remarkable young men.
