As he has done numerous times previously， John U。 Bacon delivers by taking you inside the Summit Series with insight from all of the key players， coaches， and supporting cast （mainly wives！） who gave Canada its greatest on-ice victory。 From overconfidence， to being booed out of their country， to committing to their conditioning and their teammates， to their treatment in Moscow， to their clutch performances， this book outlines perseverance， dedication， and leadership at its best。 Anyone looking f As he has done numerous times previously， John U。 Bacon delivers by taking you inside the Summit Series with insight from all of the key players， coaches， and supporting cast （mainly wives！） who gave Canada its greatest on-ice victory。 From overconfidence， to being booed out of their country， to committing to their conditioning and their teammates， to their treatment in Moscow， to their clutch performances， this book outlines perseverance， dedication， and leadership at its best。 Anyone looking for leadership books and/or ways to motivate should pick up any John U。 Bacon book。 This one is right up there with the best of them。 Of course， there is a University of Michigan connection with Red Berenson being a member of Team Canada。 I guarantee you will not be disappointed！！！！！ 。。。more

Out of the many books released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series， this one was the best。 I had never heard of the author so I didn't know what to expect， but he does an excellent job combining his story-telling skills with hundreds of quotes from interviews he did with players， executives and players' wives involved in the series。 He combines modern quotes with quotes and insights offered by players during， immediately after and in the 50 years since the series。 It may Out of the many books released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series， this one was the best。 I had never heard of the author so I didn't know what to expect， but he does an excellent job combining his story-telling skills with hundreds of quotes from interviews he did with players， executives and players' wives involved in the series。 He combines modern quotes with quotes and insights offered by players during， immediately after and in the 50 years since the series。 It may not be the first book written with the full cooperation of the players as claimed， but it is the most exhaustive and the best I've read so far。 It captures the tension and emotion of the series， bringing the reader back to September 1972 and making the reader feel as if they were right there。 An excellent book for someone who might be experiencing the series for the first time。 And for those who lived through it and who may have read other books about it， this one is a must to have in your library。 。。。more
