Summary:
This is a book about one of the greatest football coaches ever, Vincent Lombardi. This story depicts the life of Lombardi, from growing up in New York, to coaching at West Point, and then to coaching the Green Bay Packers. Not only does this story go into Lombardi the coach but also into Lombardi the father and husband.

Main Character:
Vincent Lombardi, a complex man who believed "God, Family, and the Green Bay Packers, in that order".

Other Interesting Information:
As a life long Packers fan, I have always loved learning about Green Bay and the franchise and this I think is one of the best books I have read about the famous coach. I loved the detail Maraniss went into, not just about Lombardi at work, but how he was socially and how he was with is family. Too many times we hear about the coach or the player in the sport but we don't hear about the person outside of the sport. Maraniss covered this aspect wonderfully.
