A stirring portrait of the decade when the Steelers became the
greatest team in NFL history, as their city was crumbling around
them.
In the 1970s, the city of Pittsburgh was in need of heroes. In
that decade the steel industry, long the lifeblood of the city,
went into massive decline, putting 150,000 steelworkers out of
work. And then the unthinkable happened: The Pittsburgh Steelers,
perennial also-rans in the NFL, rose up to become the most feared
team in the league, winning four Super Bowls in six years and
lifting the spirits of a city on the brink.
In "The Ones Who Hit the Hardest," Chad Millman and Shawn Coyne
trace the rise of the Steelers amidst the backdrop of the fading
city they fought for, bringing to life characters such as: Art
Rooney, the owner of the team so beloved by Pittsburgh that he was
known simply as "The Chief"; Chuck Noll, the headstrong coach who
used the ethos of steelworkers to motivate his players; and Jack
Lambert, the linebacker whose snarling, toothless grin embodied the
Pittsburgh defense. Thoroughly researched and grippingly written,
"The Ones Who Hit the Hardest" is a stirring tribute to a city, a
team, and an era.
