“Battles at Annapolis” By David Gendell | Book Launch | Army-Navy Football

On the shores of the Chesapeake, two hard-fought Army–Navy games left a lasting mark on football and the service academies. Join author David Gendell as he introduces his latest non-fiction book “Battles at Annapolis: Two Remarkable Football Games in the Army-Navy Rivalry.“ “Battles at Annapolis” tells the stories of the two most recent Army-Navy football games played at Annapolis; 1893 and 1942. While often treated as sidebars in the epic Army–Navy football narrative, these two games had an outsized impact on the series, on the institutions represented on the field, and even on the sport of football. In a series that continues to be defined by toughness and resilience, these were also among the hardest-fought and roughest games ever played. Rear Admiral Thomas C. Lynch, USN (Ret.), a former Navy football captain and 54th Superintendent of the Naval Academy, contributes the book’s Foreword. “Battles at Annapolis” is available now in hardcover and digital formats and includes 60 images and maps.
