Yet another great book that chronicles the history of Notre Dame football. It provides many of the same stories that die-hard Notre Dame fans already know, but also includes some that will undoubtedly be new as well. I think that the major strength of this book is reading the personal stories involved with not only the past players and coaches, but other Notre Dame personnel as well (PA announcers, sports information directors, etc.). These stories are the ones that shed new light and add more luster to the most fabled and storied college football program.
