Editorial Review:

Product Description:
For many, the late 1960s/early 1970s meant a country in turmoil. Sit-ins. Vietnam War protests. Don't trust anyone over 30. Nixon was 'not a crook' - or so he claimed. At the other end of the spectrum was the intense rivalry between Woody Hayes, the legendary Ohio State football coach, and his nemesis, Bo Schembechler from Michigan. To them, the American heartland was still 'pure and sacred', and they were totally in command of their troops. Hayes idolized General Patton, the great war hero. Schembechler idolized President Ford, a former All-American football player. Rosenberg sets the stage brilliantly for this coming clash of cultural differences, as Hayes and Schembechler try desperately to win a national football championship while coping with a shifting political landscape. It all leads to a climatic, and in part tragic, downfall of an important era gone by.

- Football Wars in the 70's
For me, a college student of the 70's, this was a great reminder of the social times we endured - sit-ins, the war in Vietnam, riots, Kent State, the drug scene. The book was also an interesting look at the rivalry between Woody and Bo which is like none other in football history. Mr. Rosenberg does a terrific job of intertwining football with the societal ills of this period. The book was easy to read and brought back many memories. It is a must for any diehard OSU or U of M fan.

- Two coaches the likes we will never see again.
Exellant read,Woody Hayes loved his school and his country. He saw back then the destruction of our society and knew what was coming and it tore him apart.Woody and BO could not coach todays "pre-madonna" athletes, todays players would crumble under their strict and hardnosed programs. I found it interesting that people who are in the news today got their start at Ann Arbor back in the 60's and 70's, such as "Bill Ayers".This book offers the reader a glimpse back at what life really was like

- I was there and he got it right
Michael Rosenberg, who is MUCH younger than I, "got it" as if it were first-hand. As someone who went to Michigan during those highly charged times and embodied the schizophrenic combo of political activist-protester and Michigan football fanatic, I can attest to the author's excellent emotional grasp of his research. (PS 40 years later I am still a social activist and M football fanatic...those were the times that created the soul of a generation...even when we go 3 and 9)

- Great Football Story, Along with Social History
War As They Knew It is an ingeniously created look at the intense rivalry between Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler in a time of political unrest. Set in a world of political scandals and the Vietnam War, this book is an excellent narrative of the two coaches careers and their game-winning plays. From the social unrest at the campuses to the vivid description of key games, this book draws the reader in and keeps their heart pounding until the last page is turned. The author has a fair, ...

- Why did this book have to end
I had the great pleasure of hearing WW Hayes speak at my high school some 40 years ago. I expected to be dazzled with football talk, but to my surprise, Woody only mentioned football as an afterthought, he was spellbinding in describing the wonders and advantages of a college degree.

Lou Holtz can spend hours telling Woody stories, as could Bo. Both men are/were much better men for having known him, as are almost every player ever to have played for either man.

A great story ... Read More
