Undefeated: From Basketball to Battle

Undefeated: A Story of Basketball, Battle, and West Point's Perfect 1944 Season tells the remarkable true story of West Point's perfect 1944 basketball season and, when its seniors were denied an opportunity to play in the NIT or the NCAA tournaments, of the war in Europe and the Pacific that they ultimately fought. Tragically, it would be a war that not all of them would survive. Described as "Hoosiers meets Band of Brothers," Undefeated's release comes on the 75th anniversary of the team's historic season.

Jim Noles has produced a provocative, arresting, put-you-there account of a forgotten 1940s Army basketball team that we now realize shouldn’t be forgotten. Deeply researched, written with flair and emotion, Noles has achieved something rare: He’ll make you care, deeply, about a team you’ve never heard of—and one you’ll never forget.

— Lars Anderson, New York Times best-selling author
