Fields of Battle: Pearl Harbor, the Rose Bowl, and the Boys Who Went to War by Brian Curtis

3.0

This book will be a hit with sports enthusiasts and history buffs. The reader that leans more to the historical aspect of the book thrilled with the tidbits of historical information both with regards to the Rose Bowl and WWII. The book started slow with a long focus on the football aspect and the events leading to the Rose Bowl. I would have liked to see more of the biographical information on the players featured in the book included throughout instead of in the post game feature at the end. It was however a good read over all with some intriguing twists that surprised me.
