THE WAR, THE STEAGLES AND THE CARD-PITTS

When world war II began, President Roosevelt said that sports should continue in the interest of national morale. This is the story of the Pittsburgh Steelers as they merged first with the Philadelphia Eagles, then with the Chicago Cardinals to keep pro football going through the war. The book is a chronicle of those times and how they kept going while the world was in flames. It combines war news and game descriptions from 1942 through 1946.
