The son of an Italian immigrant butcher, Lombardi toiled for twenty frustrating years as a high school coach and then as an assistant at Fordham, West Point, and the New York Giants before his big break came at age forty-six with the chance to coach a struggling team in snowbound Wisconsin. His leadership of the Green Bay Packers to five world championships in nine seasons is the most storied period in NFL history. Lombardi became a living legend, a symbol to many of leadership, discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, and to others of an obsession with winning.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Maraniss is an associate editor at \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University.
