Game Over: Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, and the Culture of Silence

What they find shatters the pristine image of the leadership that runs State College, Pennsylvania-a code of silence, a pattern of protecting one's own, and a cover-up more extensive and irresponsible than anyone had imagined.With explosive new discoveries and an intimate portrayal of the "Happy Valley" culture of State College, Moushey and Dvorchak craft a story that is as riveting as it is unsettling. In the midst of a male-dominated football culture, they uncover the untold stories of the mothers and wives, the sisters and daughters associated with the scandal.
