Sobre este áudio
Wartime Athletes is an unusual combination of sports history and military history in major wars. Profiles of more than 80 professional athletes are intertwined with the narrative about American history and stories of its heroes. During more than a century of warfare, athletes were side by side with many other heroic soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. Hall of Famers in every major sport join relatively unknown athletes who sacrificed their lives, their limbs and their careers for their country. Warren Spahn, Bum Phillips, Maurice Britt, Mario Tonelli, Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, Tom Landry, and Ben Hogan are among the well-known athletes featured.
From the gridiron to the golf course, the action in two world wars, Korea, Vietnam and other conflicts takes the listener through many stories of sacrifice and selfless service.
