This visually stunning social and cultural history contains nearly 400 images, many rare or never before published, including memorabilia, cartoons, fine art, and game photographs. The lively text examines how the game acquired its distinct American style, survived attempts to kill it, and became the countrys dominant sport, while coping with wartime, social change, intensifying fan participation, and corporate influence.Throughout the book, illustrated features explore the history of the fight song, tailgating, and cheerleading; how Hollywood has portrayed the game and its players; the longrunning role of women in football; and the impact of gamechanging personalities from pioneer Walter Camp to Coach Vince Lombardi to contemporary player agents.
