Overview
The quintessential story of the American family: how Vince Lombardi, the son of an immigrant Italian butcher, rose to the top, & how his character & will to prevail transformed him, his wife, his children, his players, his sport, & ultimately the whole country. It is also a vibrant football story, abundant with accounts of Lombardi's thrilling life in that world, from his playing days with the Seven Blocks of Granite at Fordham in the 1930s to the glory of coaching the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s. It is also a study of national myths, that Maraniss calls the fallacy of the innocent past. Includes an absorbing account of the mythmakers from Grantland Rice to Howard Cosell who shaped Lombardi's image. Photos.
