Nowhere was this turmoil more evident than on college campuses, the epicenters of the protest movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The uncertain times presented a challenge to two of the greatest football coaches of all time. Woody Hayes, the legendary archconservative coach of Ohio State, feared for the future of America. His protégé and rival, Bo Schembechler of the University of Michigan, didn't want to be bothered by these \"distractions.\" Hayes worshipped General George S. Patton and was friends with President Richard Nixon. Schembechler befriended President Gerald Ford, a former captain and team MVP for the Wolverines. In this enthralling book, Michael Rosenberg dramatically weaves the campus unrest and political upheaval into the story of Hayes and Schembechler. Their rivalry began with Schembechler arriving in protest-heavy Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the height of the Vietnam War. It ended with Hayes wondering what had happened to his country. \u003ci\u003eWar As They Knew It\u003c\/i\u003e is a sobering and fascinating look at two iconic coaches and a different generation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Rosenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is a sports columnist for the \u003ci\u003eDetroit Free Press\u003c\/i\u003e as well as a featured columnist at foxsports.com, making him one of the best-read sports writers in the country.
