A powerful biography of one of the greatest football players of
all time, in the spirit of "Namath" and "Johnny U"
No quarterback in the history of the NFL can match Bart Starr's
record of achievement. In an unprecedented seven-season run from
1961-67, Starr led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships
and the first two Super Bowl titles, while revolutionizing the
position and laying the foundation for the quarterbacks of today.
Yet until now this quiet man's remarkable career has often been
obscured by the Lombardi mystique.
Acclaimed author Keith Dunnavant brings Starr's dramatic journey
to life in vivid detail, sketching the definitive portrait of an
iconic figure who defined the quarterback position during the
1960s, when professional football stormed out of the shadows to
capture the nation's imagination. A remarkable blend of personal
memory and historical narrative, "Bart Starr "is a compelling
biography of an American hero and the perfect companion to the
classic "When Pride Still Mattered."
