Great book.

In depth look at an historical part of Jack Kennedy and the Navy football team.

President's Team - a great read!

This was an extraordinary time in history and Connelly brought the events and the amazing people clearly to light in his book. For the tradition and rivalry of the game to have be directly tied to one of the most devastating periods in American history secured it one of the most important games of it's time and I'm glad that I now know about it.

Connelly's books are always a great read but this may just be his best yet. Anyone who enjoys football, is associated with Army or Navy, or is a Kennedy buff will, of course, enjoy the book but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it since I was too young to remember 1963 firsthand and have never been associated with the Army-Navy game. I found that I could not put the book down as I learned more about the people and as the Army Navy game approached. It's amazing to think of the leaders who came out of that team and that their brotherhood carries forward even today. It was an easy and very enjoyable read.
