Title: Great book about a fine man
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading Maraniss' book. Maybe there was not enough football commentary for some, but I thought there was enough. After all, the story was about the man's lifetime. I think the best biographers are those who can reveal the strengths as well as the weaknesses of an individual. The author reveals weaknesses and flaws without disrespecting Lombardi. Lombardi was not a superhero; he was a very human person who took opportunities that came his way and dedicated his total self to meeting each challenge and succeeding. He was a fighter to the end, and even cancer did not claim him easily. There is much we can learn from this biography and I would advise spending the hours necessary to carefully perusing it.
