In the spirit of the movie Hoosiers, Trumpet Call to Victory tells the story of a small parochial high school located in the Pennsylvania coalfields that reached the summit of basketball glory in the late 1960s. Glorious victories and heartbreaking defeats are chronicled on Saint Gabriel¿s path to capturing multiple state championships. Unsung heroes and scholastic superstars take center stage during what, in the last five years of the school¿s existence, can only be described as a `golden age.' The feats of the greatest player in the region¿s history are chronicled as is the beginning of a career for a coach who arranged to have a young Bobby Knight address his state championship team at the school¿s sports banquet. That coach, Richard ¿Digger¿ Phelps, recently recalled his first head coaching job in a tweet which read, ¿St. Gabes was my first step to ND. They made it happen.¿

Many of its terms and concepts, such as Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Room 101, telescreen, 2 + 2 = 5, and memory holes, have entered into common use since its publication. In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels.
