Turning of the Tide How One Game Changed the South Don Yaeger Sam Cunningham John Papadakis 9781931722940 Books

This is one of my FAVORITE Bama Football books! I think I have read any and all written in the time frame even CLOSE to my lifetime, as well as my Grandfathers collection of Bama Books and Dad's. We are a 5th generation Bama Graduate family, and I was the first to letter and be a scholar shipped athlete in our family:). Don Yeager (author) has written a LOT of very good/great ALabama stories, and SEC stories, like Blind Side backstory of Mike Oher's REAL story. That's one of the best, if not the #1 VERY best and favorite books I've read in my life!

It clarifies any conflicts and inconsistancies that came up in Blind Side vs the Tuohy's book/story.
Michaels book (by him and Yeager)s a MUST READ, IMHO, and should be a textbook for all teens and kids of any background. Truly inspiring!

Turning of the Tide How One Game Changed the South Don Yaeger Sam Cunningham John Papadakis 9781931722940 Books Reviews

One of the most important events in the civil rights struggle struggle that most people just do not know about. Two great college football coaches did more to promote integration than Congress ever did.
Well-written,
A must read if you are a USC fan, but all sports fans will enjoy...and students of the civil rights movement.
Felt like a magazine article stretched into a book.
A MUST READ for all BAMA and USC Trojans fans. Tells the story of what it took to bring the premier team in the SEC into the 20th Centrury!
Great book. This event is so full of myths and legends that it's hard to believe how much is truth and now much is simply a story that has been passed along. Very interesting book and worth the read.
This is a 'must-read' for anyone with an interest in big-time college football and race relations in the US.

To paraphrase someone in the book, Sam "Bam" Cunningham did more in one football game to accelerate integration in Alabama and the South than the late Rev. King, Jr. did in 25 years.

Hyperbole perhaps but a point worth making.

The only down side to the book is that it isn't really a book.

The author repeated and re-repeated incidents, one surmises, to make it book-length.

That aside, it's a wonderful read.
