Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“This is the perfect book for that perfect football season, filled with imperfect players—castoffs and has-beens—under a perfectionist coach against the background of a perfect historical storm of Jim Crow, Watergate, and the Vietnam War. A terrific read.” * Robert Lipsyte *
“Terrific.” * Mike Vaccaro, New York Post *
“This book is tremendous.” * Chris "Mad Dog" Russo *
“Maybe the best football book I’ve read. Certainly the most distinctive subject matter, the 1972 Miami Dolphins. … Fisher has a smooth narrative style, both in describing 17 football games and providing backgrounds of the men who helped win all 17 of them. The Dolphins’ story is also placed in context, both South Florida in the early Seventies, and the weight of Watergate and Vietnam growing across the country. I enjoyed every page.” * Frank Murtaugh, longtime managing editor, Memphis magazine; sportswriter for the Memphis Flyer. *
