Onward to Victory
Author: Murray Sperber
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 146687645X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 882
Book Description
From the acclaimed author of Shake Down the Thunder, Murray Sperber's Onward to Victory is a brilliant, detailed, and engrossing work of social history for not only sports fans, but anyone interested in the development of modern American culture. With the 1940 release of the classic film Knute Rockne, All American, the myth of the hero scholar-athlete was born, and with it came the age of big-time college sports in America. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, including press accounts, letters and diaries, historical papers, and interviews with many who were there, Murray Sperber recounts how the myths created by Hollywood studios were embellished and codified by a hungry press, infiltrating the collective unconscious with epic stories of players, coaches, and teams. As college sports became a mainstay of popular entertainment, they also were fertile ground for near-fatal scandal, ultimately giving rise to the modern NCAA. Sperber vividly re-creates the world of postwar America, with its all-powerful radiomen, its lurid press, its growing prosperity, and, of course, the infancy of television

Book Description
Jerusalem, 1099 AD, was the central focus of the First Crusade, the holy war between Christian Crusaders and the Saracens. Passionately motivated by the sight of their Holy City, the Crusaders stop and wait for orders to assault the citys stone walls. In that moment of hesitation, wing-walkers Kate Phillips and Jen Fillmore are pulled from twenty-first century Earth World and hurled into the land of Domar in Bigna World. The two find their lives caught in a world of medieval knights and scaly beasts, far from their high tech world. Brought to Domar to find a cure for the Bs plague spreading throughout Domar, Kate and Jen are plunged into the deep, mystical chambers of Rapio, the sinister, dark Prince of Bigna. The fate of Jerusalem 1099 AD hangs on their actions in Domar. Blasting Trumpets, the second book in The Locket Chronicles, is a continuation of the life journey of two characters, Kate and Jen, who first appeared in The Morgan Chronicles, the first series by Carole Bailey.
