Pro Reviews: When Pride Still Mattered
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.
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.
