As the title suggests, the book is about the famous Ivy League gridiron matchup that ended in a tie. But it’s so much more. Colt does an amazing job of bringing to life the game’s players (actor Tommy Lee Jones played guard for Harvard) and coaches, as well as the social landscape of America in the late 1960’s. You don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy The Game.
