Description

More than another sports figure, Vince Lombardi transformed football into a metaphor of the American experience. The son of an Italian immigrant butcher, Lombardi toiled for twenty frustrating years as a high school coach after which as an assistant at Fordham, West Point, and the New York Giants before his big break came at age forty-six with the risk to train a struggling team in snowbound Wisconsin. His leadership of the Green Bay Packers to 5 world championships in nine seasons is essentially the most storied period in NFL history. Lombardi was a living legend, a symbol to many of leadership, discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, and to others of an obsession with winning. In When Pride Still Mattered, Pulitzer Prize-winning creator David Maraniss captures the parable and the man, football, God, and country in a thrilling biography destined to turn into an American classic.
