The Dynasty
English
By (author): Jeff Benedict
*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Tiger Woods comes the definitive inside story of the New England Patriotsthe greatest sports dynasty of the 21st century.
Its easy to forget that the New England Patriots were once the laughingstock of the NFL, a nearly bankrupt team that had never won a championship and was on the brink of moving to St. Louis. Everything changed in 1994, when Robert Kraft acquired the franchise and soon brought on board head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Since then, the Patriots have become a juggernaut, making ten trips to the Super Bowl, winning six of them, and emerging as one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world.
How was the Patriots dynasty built? And how did it last for two decades? In The Dynasty, acclaimed journalist Jeff Benedict provides richly reported answers in a sweeping account based on exclusive interviews with more than two hundred insidersincluding team executives, coaches, players, players wives, team doctors, lawyers, and moreas well as never-before-seen recordings, documents, and electronic communications.
Through his exhaustive research, Benedict uncovers surprising new details about the inner workings of a team notorious for its secrecy. He puts us in the room as Robert Kraft outmaneuvers a legion of lawyers and investors to buy the team. We listen in on the phone call when the greatest trade ever madeBill Belichick for a first-round draft choiceis negotiated. And we look over the shoulder of forty-year-old Tom Brady as a surgeon operates on his throwing hand on the eve of the AFC Championship Game in 2018.
But the portrait that emerges in The Dynasty is more rewarding than new details alone. By tracing the teams epic run through the perspectives of Kraft, Belichick, and Bradyeach of whom was interviewed for the bookthe author provides a wealth of new insight into the complex human beings most responsible for the Patriots success.
The result is an intimate portrait that captures the human drama of the dynastys three key characters while also revealing the secrets behind their success. The Dynasty is[a] masterpieceIts a relationship book, its a football book, its a business bookyoull just eat up these stories (Colin Cowherd). See more
