Thorough, well-researched bio of Lombardi,
This is a very good book, but not a great one. Vince does well describing Lombardi through his actions and the impact he had on those around him, especially his former players. Everything is written in a clear and easily understood manner, especially his paradoxical nature.
However, it does not clear my threshold as a great book. A great book would have involved me not as a viewer from afar, but as a fly in the locker room. Since O’Brien did not play for Lombardi, I was hoping for more insight of how his players felt. I never got emotional reading this book, and emotion is a large part of what Lombardi was about.
Basically, it reads like an exquisitely written research paper.

|VINCE: A PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY OF VINCE LOMBARDI,
I THOUGHT WRITER MICHAEL O’ BRIEN SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS LIBERAL THINKING OUT OF THE BOOK. THE BOOK WAS ABOUT VINCE LOMBARDI. IF HE WAS A CONSERVATIVE SO BE IT. LET THE READER MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS ON VINCE LOMBARDI’S THOUGHTS. OTHERWISE I GOT NO COMPLAINTS.
THANK YOU,
ROGER
