Raveling went on to become one of the winningest coaches of all time, a mentor to legendary athletes, and a confidant of the sport’s greatest coaches, including Bob Knight and John Wooden.

By the end of the decade, however, Carroll had turned USC into a legendary juggernaut with multiple Heisman Winners and National Championships. In MEN OF TROY, New York Times bestselling author Monte Burke provides the definitive account of this singular dynasty.

Legendary sportswriter Red Smith characterized Ben Hogan’s comeback from a near-fatal automobile crash in February 1949 as “the most remarkable feat in the history of sports.” Now, more than 60 years later, that statement still rings true.
