Pro Reviews: When Pride Still Mattered

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    This is an astonishingly good book, far broader in scope and subtler in nuance than one expects in a biography of a sports figure, even one as volatile as Vince Lombardi, the near-legendary head coach and goad of professional football's Green Bay Packers and (for one season before his death in 1970) the Washington Redskins.

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    As with his biography of Bill Clinton, FIRST IN HIS CLASS, Maraniss...never forgets that he is profiling a subject who is acutely aware (and in great measure the creator) of his own legend....[The author] has a superb eye for detail. His book is punctuated with telling vignettes that range from the awkwardly sentimental...to the truly bizarre.

Publisher Notes: When Pride Still Mattered

  • More than any other 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 and then as an assistant at Fordham, West Point, and the New York Giants before his big break came at age forty-six with the chance to coach a struggling team in snowbound Wisconsin. His leadership of the Green Bay Packers to five world championships in nine seasons is the most storied period in NFL history. Lombardi became 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 author David Maraniss captures the myth and the man, football, God, and country in a thrilling biography destined to become an American classic.
