NEW MATERIAL FROM THE 2005-2006 SEASON "It's not about me versus
Dean, or me against Roy or Dean against Vic Bubas. Duke and
Carolina will be here forever."
---Mike Krzyzewski
For fifty years the rivalry between Duke and Carolina has featured
famous brawls, endless controversy, long-nurtured hatred---and some
of the best basketball ever played in the history of the sport. For
Duke and UNC players and fans, the competition is not about winning
a prize, trophy or title---it's about bragging rights and raw
pride.
"Blue Blood" is a thrilling chronicle of the Duke-Carolina rivalry
as it has evolved over the last fifty years. With unparalleled
insider access, veteran journalist and author Art Chansky details
the colorful, revered, and respected rivalry---for the first time
ever.
The Duke-Carolina rivalry has fostered more than thirty former
players from the two schools playing or coaching in the NBA; it has
enchanted a nation of spectators to watch games between the
archrivals---garnering some of the highest regular-season TV
ratings in history. "Blue Blood" celebrates the history of this
rivalry, the traditions, the heritage, and, most
importantly---spectacular basketball. "You can see the beads of
sweat on coaches' and players' faces as the tale by this former
sports editor for the "Durham Morning Herald" unfolds."
---"News & Record" (Greensboro, NC)
"A book on this rivalry was long overdue, and Chansky does it
justice. This is sure to become a staple of every Tar Heel or Blue
Devil fan's library."
---"InsideCarolina.com"
"A holy text for both sides of the rivalry. . . . This book is a
coffee table necessity for anyone that claims to have a background
incollege basketball . . . you need to read this book cover to
cover as many times as possible until you can recite from
it."---"The East Carolinian"
"I'm biased, but I think this is the greatest rivalry, not just in
college basketball, but in all of sports."
---Dick Vitale, ESPN
"Art Chansky has more than learned what Duke-Carolina is all about;
he's "lived" it for more than thirty years. His columns,
commentaries, and characterizations have long been on the money,
and "Blue Blood" puts them all together in an anticipated and
entertaining work that reads more like a novel. But truth "is"
stranger than fiction, and Chansky tells it just like it is."
---Curry Kirkpatrick, who has covered Duke-Carolina for "Sports
Illustrated,""" ESPN, and "ESPN the Magazine"
