An entertaining fusion of fact, legend, & lore, Notre Dame football has transcended the boundaries of the sport & the university to become a time-honored American tradition.

With never-before-told anecdotes, this candid & revealing oral history -- the first ever written on fighting Irish football -- is told in the words of more than 150 Notre Dame players, coaches, leading sports journalists, & school faculty.
