Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates, illustrated front and rear endpapers, and a double-page map frontispiece. "An extraordinary, untold story of the Second World War in the vein of Unbroken and The Boys in the Boat, from the author of Friday Night Lights and 3 Nights in August. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, college football was at the peak of its popularity. As the nation geared up for total war, one branch of the service dominated the aspirations of college football stars: the United States Marine Corps. Wich is why, on Christmas Eve of 1944, when the 4th and 29th Marine Regiments found themselves in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, training for what would be the bloodiest battle of the war -- the invasion of Okinawa -- their ranks included one of the greatest pools of football talent ever assembled: former All-Americas, captains from Wisconsin and Brown and Notre Dame, and nearly twenty men who were either drafted to or would ultimately play in the NFL. When the trash talking between the 4th and 29th over who had the better football team reached a fever pitch, it was decided: the two regiments would play each other in a football game as close to the real thing as you could get in the dirt and coral of Guadalcanal. The bruising and bloody game that followed became known as "the Mosquito Bowl." Within a matter of months, fifteen of the sixty-five players in "the Mosquito Bowl" would be killed at Okinawa, by far the largest number of American athletes ever to die in a single battle. The Mosquito Bowl is the story of these brave and beautiful young men, those who survived and those who did not. It is the story of the families and the landscape that shaped them. It is a story of a far more innocent time in both college athletics and the life of the country -- and of the loss of that innocence. Buzz Bissinger, writing with the style and rigor that won him a Pulitzer Prize and that have made several of his books modern classics, takes us from the playing fields of America's campuses, where boys played at being marines, to the final time they were allowed to still be boys on that field of dirt and coral, to the darkest and deadliest days that followed, at Okinawa." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Buzz Bissinger was born n 1954. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. He lives in both southwestern Washington State and Philadelphia. He is married to Lisa Smith and has three children.
