"The impression most people have of Tom Landry is.the man in the funny hat who stood on the sidelines with a chiseled, stoic look.After reading this book, you will find there is so much more to Tom Landry the person." - Drew Pearson, former wide-receiver for the Dallas Cowboys "Tom Landry's special talent was in bringing out the best in others - which is the highest achievement any leader can attain." - President Gerald R. Ford "This is a heartwarming, inspirational book and whether you are a football fan or not, you will enjoy reading it." - Roger Staubach, former quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys "Tom Landry is truly one of the great Americans of our time, not only as a football coach, but as a purveyor of human values as well. His book is extremely interesting and totally honest. I especially enjoyed the last chapters where Coach Landry dealt with leadership, character, goal-setting, and management principles. I wholeheartedly recommend the reading of Tom Landry: An Autobiography." - Gene Stallings, Head Football Coach, The University of Alabama "Until now, Tom Landry has never told his own personal story or recorded his account of the Dallas Cowboys - the people and the organization that became "America's Team." Now he does so, in his first and only book. For twenty-nine years Tom Landry paced the sidelines as leader of the Dallas Cowboys, a team famous for its last-minute miracles and comebacks. Universally acknowledged as a brilliant coach and a true gentleman, Landry became one of the most recognizable figures in professional sports. Sweeping over a century of sports and other Americana, [the book] describes events that have been known only by a few people, from Landry's early playing days in Texas to his final coaching days that ended abruptly, with little warning. This autobiography offers an inside look at the coach, the man, the legend - not just the facts, but the thoughts and the feelings, and the faith behind that familiar, stoic, sideline visage. In the process Landry reveals his life philosophy and values, his commitment to excellence, and the basis for his lived-out faith that has become a trademark for him in the pressure-cooker world of professional sports." - from the inner front jacket flap.
