The Gipper

This audiobook explores the fascinating story behind the nickname "The Gipper," a phrase deeply embedded in sports culture, and the legendary figure of George Gipp, regarded as Notre Dame's greatest all-around player. Renowned sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh offers a richly detailed and well-researched biography that situates Gipp's life within the broader social and historical context of early 20th-century America. Covering the era before, during, and after World War I, the book also touches on significant national changes, including Prohibition and the rise of organized crime.
