If everyone tried to stay out of it, what a fine country we'd have!" Schreiner didn't stay out of it. Neither did his Wisconsin Badger teammates, including friend and cocaptain Mark "Had" Hoskins and standouts "Crazylegs" Hirsch and Pat Harder. After that legendary 1942 season, the Badgers scattered to serve, fight, and even die around the world. This fully revised edition of the popular hardcover includes follow-up research and updates about many of the '42 Badgers, plus a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author David Maraniss.

It's an All-American story. 2005 Honorable Mention in Recreation/Sports from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association.… (plus d'informations)

To '42 Badger Bob Rennebohm, whose razor-sharp memory and personal archives were crucial, and whose kindness and dignity I greatly appreciated. I have appointed him the symbolic team captainn of the '42 Badgers who were able to contibute remembrances for this book. And to my parents, Jerry and Marian Frei.
