Non-Fiction Biography
All American is Steve Eubanks inspiring
story of two football rivals who faced each
other in the momentous 2001 Army-Navy Game who would both go
on to serve in the United States military in the Iraq
War. In December, 2001, as fires still burned beneath
the World Trade Center ruins, West Point cadet Chad Jenkins
and Naval Academy midshipman Brian Stann faced off at
Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia in what would become the
most-watched college football game of the decade: the
matchup between the Army Black Knights and the Navy
Midshipmen. With his team down by thirteen points,
Stann, a Navy linebacker, came into contact with Jenkins,
the Army quarterback, for the first time, landing a perfect
tackle. Though these two players would not meet again
for another decade, Stann and Jenkins shared the same path:
both went to war, led soldiers, and witnessed and
participated in events they never imagined possible. A
moving and fascinating dual profile of honor, duty, courage,
and competition, illustrated with photos, All
American is a thoughtful exploration of American
character and values, embodied in the lives of
two remarkable young men.
