(c7-28b) By John Lombardo. A Fire to Win: The Life and Times of Woody Hayes chronicles his passage from serving during World War II, to the punch that ended his career coaching the Buckeyes, to his continued work for Ohio State, and finally to his death. Interviews with players, coaches, faculty, friends, and associates build an accurate and full-bodied portrait. With a spell-binding narrative style that explains events honestly, and from all sides involved, A Fire to Win is both fair and balanced in its praise of Hayes' accomplishments and in criticism of his failings. Hardcover, 288 pages, 6 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches.
