This book tells the story of the University of Minnesota's remarkable 1941 football season as they chased a second consecutive national championship even as a divided country veered closer to total war, and chronicles the young players' contributions to the war effort in the months and years that followed.
Danny Spewak has a decade of experience as a news reporter at local television affiliates in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Buffalo, and mid-Missouri. He graduated from the University of Missouri with dual degrees in journalism and political science. Spewak has also covered college sports extensively as a freelance writer, producing work that has appeared in the USA Today Network, The Huffington Post, and other online media outlets. Spewak was inspired to write this book through the story of his own grandfather, Jack Spewak, who was a member of the Gophers' freshman football team in 1941 and an Army Air Corps veteran.
