Successfully blends the tenor of the times into the narrative of two elite universities as they march toward their end-of-season football showdown in 1968. As the epic game approaches, the reader has come to know and be invested in so many players from both sides that one wishes there would be no winner., A richly detailed, engaging story... First-rate reporting and writing that will appeal to gridiron fans and general readers as well., I began to read this book believing that the 1968 Harvard Yale game could not possibly represent anything more than a tiny sliver of American life--and an elite one at that. Three hundred forty-one pages later, George Howe Colt's spirited prose and encompassing vision convinced me otherwise. The game itself is plenty of fun, of course, but it's the narrative's nation-spanning context that kept me riveted to this book., The Game is the rare sports book that lives up to the claim of so many entrants in this genre: It is, in its way, the portrait of an era., Colt's recounting of this significant college game also resounds with significant cultural commentary on a tumultuous period. It's a well-blended narrative packed with top-notch reporting and even relevance for our own time., There's no doubt that football fans will find The Game fascinating -- Colt understands the nuances of the sport, and he writes about it with an enthusiasm that never descends into rah-rah fandom. But you don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy the book; like Buzz Bissinger's Friday Night Lights , its human focus makes it accessible to everyone, even if you don't know the difference between a touchback and a touchdown. Vibrant, energetic and beautifully structured, The Game is a big-time winner., Deftly weaves anecdotes from players with some of the major newsmakers in a profoundly tumultuous year.

Synopsis
*A New York Times Notable Book* *A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year* From the bestselling National Book Award finalist and author of The Big House comes "a well-blended narrative packed with top-notch reporting and relevance for our own time" ( The Boston Globe ) about the young athletes who battled in the legendary Harvard-Yale football game of 1968 amidst the sweeping currents of one of the most transformative years in American history. On November 23, 1968, there was a turbulent and memorable football game: the season-ending clash between Harvard and Yale. The final score was 29-29. To some of the players, it was a triumph; to others a tragedy. And to many, the reasons had as much to do with one side's miraculous comeback in the game's final forty-two seconds as it did with the months that preceded it, months that witnessed the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, police brutality at the Democratic National Convention, inner-city riots, campus takeovers, and, looming over everything, the war in Vietnam. George Howe Colt's The Game is the story of that iconic American year, as seen through the young men who lived it and were changed by it. One player had recently returned from Vietnam. Two were members of the radical antiwar group SDS. There was one NFL prospect who quit to devote his time to black altruism; another who went on to be Pro-Bowler Calvin Hill. There was a guard named Tommy Lee Jones, and fullback who dated a young Meryl Streep. They played side by side and together forged a moment of startling grace in the midst of the storm. "Vibrant, energetic, and beautifully structured" (NPR), this magnificent and intimate work of history is the story of ordinary people in an extraordinary time, and of a country facing issues that we continue to wrestle with to this day. " The Game is the rare sports book that lives up to the claim of so many entrants in this genre: It is the portrait of an era" ( The Wall Street Journal ).
