I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author finds and reports the unfiltered truth as told by the people who lived it. Page after page of fascinating (and previously unreported) stories about Ara, Devine, Montana, etc. A great gift for anyone who loves ND football.

I played at ND in the early 90's as a walk on so I know a bit about the ins and outs of ND football. This book added enormously to my knowledge. It was honest and apparently unfiltered. Huge credit to the author for eliciting and assembling such frank and insightful comment from a range of ND players through the years. Seeing ND football "warts and all" has made me even more passionate about the team. I strongly recommend this book to any college football fan, and it is essential for any ND supporter. Go Irish!

This was a wel written book. This is Notre Dame football at its best. What a read, From the 40's to the 90's told by the people that lived and were Notre Dame football. GREAT JOB!!!!

This book was informative and it told things about ND football I have never heard before. I liked hearing the views of the players on various issues.

I thought that this is oneof the greatest Notre Dame football books of all time. It is definately a must for all Fighting Irish fans.

I loved this book! A great read for the person who lives and breathes Notre Dame football

I liked this book so much that I didn't want to stop reding it. I was dissappointed when I finished it because I wanted more. The book told all about the history of Fighting Irish football from the 1940s to 1997. The book was almost entirly written from former ND player's accounts. If you like this book, read Notre Dame's Greatest Coaches by Moose Krause. It is muhc like this book. Talking Irish is one of the best books I have ever read.

I am a tremendous follower of Notre Dame football and have read several books pertaining to Notre Dame football. After reading this book,I became more aware of Notre Dame football as opposed to becoming more in awe of the Spirit of Notre Dame. This book is a must for avid Golden Domers. If you can recite the Notre Dame Fight song and name all 7 Heisman Trophy winner's, this one is for you.

TALKING IRISH is one of my favorite book cause M.Delsohn write the story in six part,one for every decade from the 40's to the 90's.It's more easy to read cause you don't jump from things happen in 1965 to go in 1996 the next paragraph and come back in 1953 after,and it's more easy to consult when you need quick informations.In this book you gonna read both sides of the story the good and the bad,I like that cause too much books talk only about the good side of Notre Dame football story,in TALKING IRISH you gonna read a lot of untold story about players,coachs and school direction who take a lot of decisions on the way the team is coach.Starting from the 40's you follow the story of the team with interview of players,coachs and fans about the greatest moments of Fighting irish story until 1997 season.One of the greatest books about one of the greatest college football team,I recommend it to everyone.

From Leahy to Holtz, this book tells it like it was. Steve Delsohn has tons of first hand accounts of the lore of Notre Dame football. Well written this book flows and is hard to put down. Whether you are a hard core Notre Dame fan or just a football fan this book is for you.
