"Robinson's life of legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute
Rockne stands unchallenged as the definitive work on this icon of
the Roaring Twenties. The author has created a lively story that
almost makes readers feel that they are in the locker room as
Rockne famously asks the team to 'win one for the
gipper'....Robinson sets Notre Dame against the backdrop of
religious bias in the form of Ku Klux Klan activities in Indiana in
the 1920s and the role the Notre
Dame football team played in trying to overcome that bias....This
excellent biography is highly recommended for all public
libraries."--Library Journal
"A solid portrait of one of football's most solid figures."--The
New York Times Book Review
"A rousing tale of the Norwegian boy who made good among the
Irish."--Dave Wood's Book Report
