Book Reviews of Conquest: Pete Carroll And The Trojans' Climb To The Top Of The College Football Mountain
Book Review: Solid, well-reported
Summary: 4 Stars
David Wharton and Gary Klein know USC and the USC culture (full disclosure: I worked on the Daily Trojan with Wharton but have had virtually no contact with him since I graduated in 1984). "Conquest" will please USC devotees with its summary of the changes from the Trojans' 2002 re-emergence to the 2004 national championship. It contains some insider detail of locker room cheering, reporting on recruiting battles, and even a nice reminder that TV commentator Bob Griese said that Heisman Trophy QB Matt Leinart had "no supporting cast" moments before Leinart and all his teammates crushed Oklahoma in the 2004 National Championship game. I'd venture that even though Griese was a stellar pro football player, he knew a lot less about the Trojans than David Wharton and Gary Klein did. Fortunately, Griese doesn't write books, and equally fortunately, Wharton and Klein do.
