An account that tackles âthe Patsâ wilderness years to the current dynasty . . . with fresh insight, bite, and humor from an All-Pro roster of writersâ (John U. Bacon, New York Times bestselling author of Overtime).  The New England Patriots have become a dynasty, though it didnât begin that way. Love âem, hate âem, the Pats have captured this countryâs attention like no other franchise. From two award-winning authors this is the first complete story of a legendary team and its five championship trophies.  In the tradition of their celebrated illustrated histories of some of sportsâ most iconic franchises, Stout and Johnson tell the history in full and in colorful detail. This is a lavishly illustrated tale full of larger-than-life charactersâfrom founding owner Billy Sullivan, early stars like Syracuse running back Jim Nance and beloved wide receiver turned broadcaster Gino Cappeletti, to Hall of Famers and stars like John Hannah, Russ Francis, and Steve Grogan through to present-day stars like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and owner Bob Kraft.  Featuring essays by Richard Johnson, Upton Bell, Leigh Montville, Howard Bryant, Ron Borges, Lesley Visser and more, The Pats is a must-have gift for fans, old and new, and an indelible portrait of the most talked about team in NFL history.  âGlenn Stout and Richard Johnson . . . whisk us back in time to old ballparks, long-ago games and the personalities who made Boston a dynamic sports town. What Stout and Johnson did for baseball with Red Sox Century they now do for football with The Pats.ââSteve Buckley, Boston Herald âThe book every Patriots fan has been waiting for.ââBob Ryan, Boston Globe columnist emeritus and ESPN commentator |
