In this book, a veteran sportswriter examines ten contests that have defined the team over different eras in its 101-year history. From the season-ending win in 1929 that delivered the Packers' first NFL championship, to Vince Lombardi's first victory as Packers coach in 1959, winning both the "Ice Bowl" and first Super Bowl in 1967, and on through the Favre and Rodgers eras in a new century, Chuck Carlson goes beyond events on the field to trace the significance of each of these signature games in the arc of Packers history.; Chuck Carlson was a sports writer/columnist for more than 30 years with newspapers in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, Illinois Nevada, and Wisconsin. He spent eleven years covering the Green Bay Packers for the Appleton Post-Crescent and has authored eleven books on the team.; Chuck Carlson does so much more than just take the reader back through the Green Bay Packers' towering history. With deft writing and keen analysis, he explains why a few games stand out among the many that have made the unique franchise so successful. I can already hear the debates. - John Eisenberg, author of That First Season: How Vince Lombardi Took the Worst Team in Football and Set It on a Path to Glory; Google Preview content
