Two Men, the Patriots, and How They Revolutionized Football

New York Times bestselling sportswriter Michael Holley takes readers behind the scenes of the relationship that transformed the Patriots from a middling franchise to the envy of the NFL. No head coach-quarterback pair has been more successful in NFL history than Bill Belichick and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. They have won four Super Bowls, six AFC championships, and thirteen division titles. And now Holley takes us inside their relationship, dissecting how these men and their team came to dominate football. Belichick, a genius as a defensive coordinator, had been a five-year flop as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Upon his controversial arrival in Foxboro, though, he quickly began to remake the team at every level--scouts, coaches, and players. His bold, calculated approach had fans up in arms, sportswriters questioning his intelligence, and players wondering how long they would last on the team. Meanwhile, buried down in the 2000 NFL draft, the 199th overall pick was a skinny kid from the University of Michigan named Tom Brady who many scouts thought would never succeed at a professional level. The lowest of the four quarterbacks on the team's depth chart, he appeard to be just one of the guys. Like Belichick, though, he lived for football, and he knew the playbook as well as Drew Bledsoe, the franchise quarterback. And when Bledsoe was injured in 2001, Brady took the job and vowed to never give it back. The handsome Brady became a star, wearing hand-tailored suits, appearing in movies and on magazine covers, and marrying a supermodel. Belichick, with his trademark cut-off hoodies, was the opposite of a fashion plate. Together, the odd couple somehow rose above controversies and tragedies. Draft picks were lost, suspensions given, lawsuits filed. As their legends have grown, so have their critics, with some of those critics operating from NFL headquarters. Despite that, with Belichick's deft and brilliant strategy in the draft year in year out and Brady's exacting decision-making on the field, the Patriots cultivated an atmosphere of success and won a stunning 75 percent of their games together. Respected and reviled, Belichick and Brady have set the bar high for excellence in a league designed for parity. They have rarely been understood. Until now. Based on dozens of interviews with former and current players, coaches, and executives, Belichick and Brady is an eye-opening look at the minds, motives, and wild ambitions of two men who have left an indelible mark on the game of football.

With incredible skill, passion, and insight, Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Halberstam returns us to a glorious time when the dreams of a now almost forgotten America rested on the crack of a bat. The year was 1949, and a war-weary nation turned from the battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a summer that marked the beginning of a sports rivalry unequaled in the annals of athletic competition. The awesome New York Yankees and the indomitable Boston Red Sox were fighting for supremacy of baseball's American League, and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash, headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their respective teams in a classic pennant duel of almost mythic proportions—one that would be decided in an explosive head-to-head confrontation on the last day of the season.

One part Robert Ludlum with two parts Thomas Harris and brilliantly wrapped in a Darwinian high concept,The Gemini Manis a dazzling debut thriller from an extremely gifted and daring young writer.  With a power-packed narrative drive and an absolutely engrossing cast of characters, it is destined to become one of the most talked-about books of the year. U.S.  Brigadier General Alexander Beck found Brian Newman on the brink of court-martial.  Knowing what a weapon this man could be, Beck trained him to live by his instincts and directed his development as a top dual-purpose covert operative.  Code-named Gemini, Newman offered up his innocence and Beck dropped him into the most heated political battle in history.  But after delivering a debilitating blow to the Soviet Union that sealed a Cold War victory for the grand old flag, Beck left him for dead. But the Gemini Man survived.  The most lethal human fallout from the most catastrophic of centuries has been waiting to return home.  Six years of contemplation in solitary confinement in a frozen Russian gulag taught him well.  And at long last, Beck negotiates to bring his discovery in from the cold. Sent to an isolated psychiatric research facility for "de-briefing," Newman must play cat and mouse with a brilliant female psychiatrist long enough to enact his hidden agenda.  But does the Gemini Man know who he really is?

"Caroline Llewellyn, acclaimed author of The Masks of Rome and The Lady of the Labyrinth, returns with the powerful and evocative story of a long-ago murder, a lost novel, a neolithic burial mound, and the way in which they interweave to troubling effect in the imagination of a young woman." "It's spring when recently widowed Jo Treleven arrives with her baby son, Max, in the picturesque Cotswold village of Shipcote to take possession of a cottage left to her by her grandmother." "Jo, a children's book writer and illustrator, hopes to find here the peace that has eluded her since her husband's mysterious death. Instead, she learns that she's living in the house where a woman was brutally murdered fifty years ago. The killer was never caught, but the murderer's identity may have been revealed in a novel written by Jo's grandmother. Strangely, all copies of the published book, Life Blood, seem to have been destroyed." "Far from home and alone, Jo discovers, to her surprise, that she's distantly related to an influential local family, the Mallabys, who both attract and unsettle her. She reaches out to a young single mother, Sophie Dymock, and feels herself increasingly drawn to a divorced American, David Cornelius, and his eleven-year-old son, Rafe." "But whom can she trust? As her search for Life Blood leads her to disturbIng truths about the past, Jo realizes that she may have put herself and her baby in mortal danger." "A born storyteller, Llewellyn brings elegance and style to her superb novels of suspense. Life Blood is the best yet from this gifted author."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
