The Last Cowboy: A Life of Tom Landry

â€œAn eloquent, honest tribute to a sports genius.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly, Best 100 Books of 2013

As the coach during professional footballâ€™s most storied era, Tom Landry transformed the gridiron from a no-holds-barred battlefield to the highly-technical chess match it is today. With his trademark fedora and stoic facade, he was a man of faith and few words, for twenty-nine years guiding â€œAmericaâ€™s Teamâ€ from laughingstock to well-oiled machine, with an unprecedented twenty consecutive winning seasons and two Super Bowl titles. Now, more than a decade after Landryâ€™s death, acclaimed biographer Mark Ribowsky takes a fresh look at this misunderstood legend, telling us as much about our countryâ€™s obsession with football as about Landry himself, the likes of whom weâ€™ll never see again.
