Long known as the outsider’s guide into this elite world, Wickersham’s fresh reporting goes deep into the quarterback journey, measuring the distance between what the men who have traveled it expected and what they found at the end of the road. Through unprecedented access into the lives of generational greats, as well as figures currently striving to be remembered, Wickersham reveals how this one position has become emblematic of success in American life.The story of college football in Alabama is the story of the South itself. In this up-close look at one of America's fiercest, most colorful sports rivalries: Alabama vs Auburn, Yahoo Sports senior writer Jay Busbee details the rich history and triumphs of both teams, while giving you a glimpse into the joy and agony of being a die-hard football fan. Showcasing the sport's larger-than-life power, Iron in the Blood is the dramatic history of how football has defined a state, inside and outside its stadiums. And it’s the story of how Alabama understands that football is both a magnificent way to celebrate its brightest days and a welcome path to climb out of its darkest ones.
