[Aaron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing. The single best Dallas Cowboys book I've ever read. Comprehensive in every way possible through the first 50 years of the team. From the pull out sections of each of the 5 winning super bowl games and the new Cowboys Stadium, to the humble beginnings of the franchise, to covering the cheerleaders and the salvation army partnership, and the well chosen Golden Anniversary Team, and everything else of significance in between, this book leaves no stone unturned. My favorite part of the book has to be all the extra trinkets that were included such as a replica letter from Yankees owner George Steinbrenner to Jerry Jones, or replica tickets of all 5 super bowl winning games, they really added an amazing touch to the book. And thanks to the magic of twitter, I've even been able to form a relationship of sorts with the author. An all around cool experience. An absolute must have for Dallas Cowboys fans everywhere.

Must have for Cowboys Nation! This is the complete history of the Cowboys. Starting out at the Cotton Bowl to Texas Stadium to AT&T Stadium. Lots of pictures and interesting tidbits of information.
