“If there is one book to own about those glorious days, when Washington ruled the NFL world, this is it.” —Mike Freeman, Bleacher Report’s NFL Lead Writer and author of Undefeated: Inside the Miami Dolphins’ Perfect Season

Based on more than ninety original interviews, here is the definitive chronicle of the famed Washington Redskins teams of the Joe Gibbs years—one of the most remarkable and unique runs in NFL history. Sportswriter Adam Lazarus masterfully charts the team’s championship decade, from 1981 to 1992, when Gibbs coached the franchise to three Super Bowl victories, making the team the toast of the nation’s capital, from the political elite to the inner city, and helping define one of the sport’s legendary eras.

“Finally, a writer has put it all together in a work that will help you fully appreciate what Joe Gibbs and those around him accomplished during the greatest decade in Washington Redskins history. Hail to Adam Lazarus for a job well done!” —Frank Herzog, Washington Redskins play-by-play announcer, 1979–2004

“The wildly successful Joe Gibbs era comes alive in Adam Lazarus’s riveting new book about the most important sports team in Washington. . . . [A] fascinating story.” —Christine Brennan, USA Today columnist and author of Best Seat in the House
