From celebrated sports journalist Steve Delsohn comes the true story of University of Southern California football; told by those who know it best--the players; coaches; and everyone else who made USC football one of the most legendary programs in America. Over the years; USC has been surrounded by controversy; even as it won 11 national titles and produced six Heisman winners and numerous future NFL stars. This book will tell the story of the program at its best and worst; with a special focus on the past 40 years; starting with the "Tailback U" dynasty years of the 1970s--when the school won three championships in less than a decade--right up through the modern era in which iconic figures such as Pete Carroll and Reggie Bush had tremendous success and went on to NFL glory; but left tremendous controversy in their wake.

It's clever; funny; engaging; and so very informative while maintaining the honor and respect one would expect from the president. I deeply respect that President Bush not only highlights his administration's achievements; but is also candid about its shortcomings. After borrowing it from the library; I decided I needed to own it; both for myself and for my children. Excellent read and a good lesson on modern American history.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. concise and wonderful!

He takes you through most of his adult life. His description of events on September 11th and the days ensuing are with compassion and clarity. A great read for anyone interested in getting to know and understand the man who was - and still is - maligned by the press and current administration. i'm a fan. . . .1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good honest assesment of his presidency.By Danny in LAFirst of all; I was not a fan of the George W Bush administration. That being said; I genuinely appreciated this autobiography. It painted a honest assessment of his leadership; both the good and the bad.(I contrast this with Donald Rumsfeld's book; which minimized all the negatives; and accentuated his achievements)After finishing this book; I felt a newfound respect for this president
