When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi, by David Maraniss
- As coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967, Vince Lombardi turned perennial losers into a juggernaut, winning back-to-back NFL titles in 1961 and 1962, and Superbowls I and II in 1966 and 1967. Stern, severe, sentimental, and paternal, he stood revered, reviled, respected, and mocked--a touchstone for the '60s all in one person. Which adds up to the myth we've been left with. But who was the man? That's the question Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss tackles.

I got the idea to do this page from Ron Fitch back in February 1996.
Since I have a few books myself, I thought it was a great idea. If you have or know of any Packer related books
that aren't listed here, let me know. Please give me all the book's info that I provide above and I'll add it
to this list.
