I thought the authors did a fine job of conveying the culture of late 50's/early 60's Beaver Falls, PA and the University of Alabama campus of the early-mid 60's. This is primarily a sports book with the history of the era in the background, but fascinating for those of us from a younger generation (in my case, Namath retired from the NFL around the time I was born) to see the intersection of Namath, Bryant, and even the controversy involving Bryant and the Saturday Evening Post.
