VINCE: A Personal Biography of Vince Lombardi-Michael O.Brien

Description: Great look at this iconic coach in VINCE: A Personal Biography of Vince Lombardi. This 457 page large sized hardcover by Michael O. Brien was published in 1989. From the back cover we read, "Published to widespread critical acclaim Vince has been called 'the definitive biography' of an American legend. With stunning revelations and anecdotes. Vince Lombardi's life is pieced together with painstaking care in research, detail, and historical accuracy. Based on more than two hundred interviews, including those who played with him and against him, from his early coaching days at St. Cecilia High School in New Jersey to West Point, the New York Giants, and his championship seasons with the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins. Drawing upon unpublished Lombardi family papers, Vince clarifies the thirty years of mystery and contradiction that have swirled around the legend of Vince Lombardi. Vince goes beyond the sidelines to reveal the true character of Lombardi. He was dedicated and narrow, intelligent and dogmatic, self-restrained yet emotional, abusive but apologetic. His moods could swing from deep gloom to soaring exuberance in seconds. He was compassionate, kind, charitable. He could also be gripped by uncontrollable anger. Above all, Vince paints a portrait of a very human man who committed his life to winning." Great reading in this book in good condition. Clean unmarked pages.
