Reviews
A well-researched and extremely informative book about the early days of the NFL and one of its greatest players.--Robert W. Cohen, author of The 50 Greatest Players in Chicago Bears History The legend of Bronko Nagurski as one of pro football's pioneer stars is detailed like never before in this outstanding retrospective narrative by Chris Willis. The background of Nagurski's life before, during, and after his playing days, is both insightful and entertaining. Chris Willis has previously written some great books about a variety of NFL teams and players. This book might be his very best, and that is saying a lot.--Joe Zagorski, Pro Football Writers of America, This book on Bronko Nagurski is full of original and unique research and details we'd never heard before. It covers Nagurski's life--pre-football, his career, and his post-NFL playing days and does it well. Willis is always so fluent in his writings of the Pre-World War II era and can make it relatable to younger readers who may not be enthralled with the NFL from that far back. Willis enjoyed the cooperation of the Nagurski family with access to loads of personal files and records and the inclusion of details from those documents makes the book more enriching and vivid. This is a fine, fine book and highly recommended., A well-researched and extremely informative book about the early days of the NFL and one of its greatest players., [T]he most comprehensive look at Bronko Nagurski's life before, during and after his playing career with the Chicago Bears.... Willis does an excellent job in developing what Nagurski was like in both sports and off the field as a devoted family man.... Willis captured his intensity and sincerity of him both on and off the field. He created a great tribute to this pioneer of the early gridiron game. Chris Willis has a great ability to bring the person, subject, game, and/or event to life giving realism to the subject he is writing about that I find missing in other books by other authors on football. Without a doubt, his new book is a must-read and should be a part of your football library as well his other books. I highly recommend it., [T]he most comprehensive look at Bronko Nagurski's life before, during and after his playing career with the Chicago Bears....

Without a doubt, his new book isa must-read and should be a partof your football library as well hisother books. I highly recommend it., The phrase meticulously researched came to mind almost immediately, and suits it perfectly. Willis hits the right note between telling stories about Bronislau "Bronko" Nagurski and the personal details that we crave in an autobiography. Having the support of the Nagurski family, and The Bronko Nagurski Museum in International Falls, Minnesota, Willis is able to cram the book full of great facts.... Bronko: The Legendary Story of the NFL's Greatest Two-Way Fullback is an incredible book for football fans., The legend of Bronko Nagurski as one of pro football's pioneer stars is detailed like never before in this outstanding retrospective narrative by Chris Willis. The background of Nagurski's life before, during, and after his playing days, is both insightful and entertaining.
