David Maraniss - 1999 Simon & Shuster
I wonder why this book is called "A Life of Vince Lombardi" instead of "The Life of Vince Lombardi. I doubt there are many other sports books let alone a book about Lombardi that are as good or as thorough as this one. David Maraniss rightfully deserves praise as a brilliant author as this book is a comprehensive and well researched portrayal of one of the greatest sports figures of all times.
After reading this book, there is a part of me that always roots for the Pack specifically because they were his team.
Book Highlight: Vince Lombardi's initial reaction the first time he passed through Green Bay, "Who the hell would want to live in Green Bay?"
