President John F Kennedy, an alumnus of the US Naval Academy and a passionate football fan, was looking forward to watching the Midshipmen take on the Cadets at the Annual Army-Navy game , November 30, 1963. 'I hope to be on the winning side when the game ends' he telegraphed the Navy coach on November 20, but two days later was assassinated in Dallas, changing history forever. Exploring the close relationship between President Kennedy and the Navy football squad of the early 1960s, author Michael Connelly describes how the 1963 Army-Navy game - played on December 7, 1963, after a week's postponement - served as welcome distraction for a nation in mourning, as well as an opportunity to honour the fallen president's memory. Connelly ties together the historic Army-Navy rivalry with the changing political landscape of the 1960's at home and abroad.
