THE MOSQUITO BOWL is an extraordinary untold story of World War Two that will resonate with readers who loved Unbroken and Boys in the Boat. The inspiring tale finds All-American football players from the powerhouses of major college gridirons splitting their time tossing pigskins and hand grenades. Gaining yardage in a game pales as these tough Marine heroes become involved in the bloodiest battle of the war - the invasion of Okinawa.
