Set against the backdrop of a pivotal college football game in 1966, the narrative delves into John Wayne's presence in Texas while filming. It offers an intimate look at the cultural clash between the integrated USC Trojans and the all-white Texas Longhorns. The book explores Wayne's complex mythology, touching on his political views, rumored conspiracies against him, and connections to global figures like Stalin and Mao, all while reflecting on the decline of the Western genre.
