Eye-opening and fast-paced, \u003cem\u003eGame Over\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the lies, willful ignorance, and cover-ups that may have allowed a sexual predator to use his position and status to prey on vulnerable young victims for years. Its explosive new discoveries shatter the illustrious image of \"Happy Valley\"--State College, Pennsylvania, home to one of the nation's most successful and highly lucrative college football programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoushey, Dvorchak, and Pulitzer craft a story that is as compelling as it is unsettling. Probing beneath the male-dominated football culture, they share the untold stories of the mothers and wives, the sisters and daughters associated with the scandal. They trace the rise and fall of hometown hero and national icon Joe Paterno--the Nittany Lion's legendary head coach with the most wins in the history of college football, including two national championship titles--juxtaposing Penn State's success and glory with the hidden anguish of former coach Jerry Sandusky's accusers. As it details the rise and fall of the individuals associated with the scandal, it also makes clear the larger implications for the university, its vaunted football program, the community, and all of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn exploration of the messy morality of pride and loyalty, silence and bearing witness, \u003cem\u003eGame Over\u003c\/em\u003e will leave readers pondering their own values and their beliefs in right and wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley.

Sandusky had been Paterno's top lieutenant for thirty-two years. He was also the founder of a charity, The Second Mile, that devoted itself to helping disadvantaged youth. The numerous boys in Sandusky's program who have come forward told a grand jury lurid stories of a sexual predator who stalked and abused them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGame Over\u003c\/em\u003e, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate the shocking details of how a culture built around one deified coach with a glorious vision to have \"success with honor\" failed to act in the best interests of the most vulnerable.
