The story of the changing face of baseball and the inner workings of its finest organizationAfter a hundred "cursed" years, the Boston Red Sox rose gloriously to baseball domination. Under the leadership of manager Terry Francona, an extraordinary team of wildly disparate personalities—from the inscrutable Manny Ramirez to the affable David "Big Papi" Ortiz—pulled off two improbable post-season comebacks to make it to the World Series twice in three years . . . and ultimately emerged victorious. In Red Sox Rule, Michael Holley, bestselling author of Patriot Reign, provides a fascinating, insightful, and surprising inside look at how it all happened.With the exclusive cooperation of Terry Francona and stories from the clubhouse and the conference room, Holley reveals the private sessions and the dugout and front-office strategies that have made the Red Sox a budding dynasty, overtaking their archrivals, the powerful New York Yankees, as the American League''s elite team. 102 kr

The New York Times bestseller "for devoted New England fans or those interested in the makings of a professional football organization" (Boston Globe).When Bill Belichick arrived in New England, the Patriots were a laughingstock, an organization with a losing record and a roster of overpaid, underperforming players. So how did a head coach with a questionable record transform this team, garner three Lombardi trophies in four years, and—with the Pats'' 2005 Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles—cement the team''s place as an NFL dynasty?With unprecedented access granted by Belichick and his staff, author Michael Holley spent two years with the coach, his team, and his brain trust. Holley provides insights into how Belichick and his coaching cabinet prepare for opponents, evaluate talent, run the draft, and design their offensive and defensive schemes. Patriot Reign captures Belichick at his most candid, and what emerges is a portrait of a complicated man who is cerebral, yes, but also tough, demanding, stubborn, funny, profane, and a master strategist.Frank, uncompromising, and stunning, Patriot Reign is required reading for football fans who want to understand what makes a champion tick."A superb job of explaining how Belichick and his lieutenants get an edge in so many things. . . . If you want to know how a really good team works, buying this book would be [money] well spent." —Sports Illustrated"The oft-inscrutable Belichick is given a human face. . . . Irresistible for football fans, connoisseurs of football coaches and, indeed, students of successful businesses." —Boston Herald- Häftad, Engelska, 2011

The first of "The Big Three" was Paul Pierce. As Boston Celtics fans watched the team retire Pierce's jersey in a ceremony on February 11, 2018, they remembered again the incredible performances Pierce put on in the city for fifteen years, helping the Celtics escape the bottom of their conference to become champions and perennial championship contenders. But Pierce's time in the city wasn't always so smooth. In 2000, he was stabbed in a downtown nightclub eleven times in a seemingly random attack. Six years later, remaining the sole star on a struggling team, he asked to be traded and briefly became a lightning rod among fans.Then, in 2007, the Boston Celtics General Manager made two monumental trades, bringing Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to Boston. A press conference on July 31, 2007 was a sight to behold: Pierce, KG, and Ray Allen holding up Celtics jerseys for the flood of media. Coach Doc Rivers made sure the team bonded over the thought of winning a title and living by a Bantu term called Ubuntu, which translates as "I am because we are." Rivers wanted to make it clear that togetherness and brotherhood would help them maximize their talent and win. What came next-the synthesis of the Celtics' "Big Three" and their dominant championship run-cemented their standing as one of great teams in NBA history, a rival to Kobe Bryant's Lakers and LeBron James's Cavaliers.This is the team that brought excitement back to the Garden, and therefore to one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. They met their historic rivals, the Lakers, in the 2008 NBA Finals, winning the series in Game 6, in a rout on their home court with a raucous, concert like atmosphere. Along the victory parade route, Paul Pierce smoked a cigar-as a tribute to legendary former Celtics Coach Red Auerbach. In a city now defined by a wealth of championships, "The Big Three" joined the club. Michael Holley, the premier chronicler of Boston sports, brings their story to life with countless untold stories and behind-the-scenes details in another bestselling tome for New England and sports fans across the country. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008

In the Land of the Scentless, Princess Althea's single nostril makes her the kingdom's most precious asset. Her people communicate through a beautiful language of colored scarves, waving messages on the wind. But when three monsters attack-Stymphalian Birds poisoning their dye-pits, a Cyclops whose beam bleaches color from their scarves, and Quetzalcoatl whose song steals their will-their vibrant language begins to die.Inspired by the proverb about the one-eyed man in the land of the blind, the story explores how a limitation becomes a profound strength. Faced with silence, Althea leads her people to invent a new language of stomps and pressed palms. Working together, they craft clever traps using the monsters' own weapons: trapping the birds in their hatred of beauty, imprisoning the Cyclops in his own emptiness, and finally uniting with the One-Eyed King to defeat the serpent of forgetting.Through ingenuity and teamwork, Princess Althea proves that true power lies in listening, watching, and speaking for one another. Her journey culminates in a hopeful union with the Prince who Needs a Tongue to Talk, symbolizing that every difference becomes a strength when met with understanding. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026

In the Land of the Handless, where people have adapted to live fully without hands, the one-handed monarch Michaelle must defend their kingdom against three monstrous threats: Anansi the spider who steals voices, Gickey the toad-drake whose fog numbs feet and legs, and Jasper the basilisk whose venom corrupts touch into fear and shatters trust. Drawing on the wisdom inherited from their parents-the One-Eyed King who sees truth and the One-Eared Queen who hears the heart-Michaelle leads their people through three distinct victories: defeating Anansi by communicating through ground-stomps that vibrations, overcoming Gickey by walking above his fog on stilts, and transforming Jasper through the slow, difficult work of rebuilding trust through human connection, ultimately touching the lonely basilisk with kindness and turning him into a living bridge. In the end, Michaelle unites the Handless with neighboring Sensory Realms, proving that no one is complete alone and that every missing piece becomes a bridge when people hold one another up. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026

Love them or hate them, what New England has been able to do over the past 15 years is nothing short of remarkable. Now, not only boasting four Super Bowl Championships, the Patriots also have the best coach in the league, a smart and savvy front office, and a future Hall of Fame quarterback who is internationally recognized as the face of the NFL. And as the Patriots continue to dominate, on the field as well as in the media and the American pop culture landscape, the harder it is for anyone to remember them as anything other than a model franchise and the ultimate paradigm of success and accomplishment. Anyone, that is, except for Jerry Thornton. It wasn’t always sunshine and roses for the Patriots; in fact, for the bulk of their existence, it was exactly the opposite. Though difficult to fathom now, the New England Patriots of old were not just bad—they were laughably bad. Not too long ago, the Pats were not only the laughingstock of the NFL, but of the entire sporting world.From Darkness to Dynasty reveals the unlikely history of the New England Patriots as it has never been told before. From their humble beginnings as a team bought with rainy day money by a man who had no idea what he was doing to that fateful 2001 season that saw them win their first Super Bowl, Jerry Thornton shares the wild, humiliating, unbelievable, and wonderful stories that comprised the first 40 years of what would ultimately become the most dominant franchise in NFL history.Witty, hilarious, and brutally honest, From Darkness to Dynasty returns to the thrilling, perilous days of yesteryear—a welcome corrective for those who hate the Patriots, and a useful reminder, for those who love them, that all glory is fleeting. - E-bokEngelska, 2020

Long before the Patriots took the 21st century by storm and became the most dominant team in NFL history, pro football was something entirely different in New England, something comically atrocious and riddled with heartbreak. Before those juggernaut years of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and sold-out crowds at Gillette Stadium came a hapless franchise that managed only a single playoff victory in a quarter century and spent its entire first decade of existence just trying to establish a permanent home field (and even when they did, none of the toilets worked). In From Darkness to Dynasty, bestselling author Jerry Thornton irreverently chronicles those easily glossed-over, downtrodden decades--years when the team claimed more headlines for lawsuits, arrests, power struggles, drug problems, and inept, bizarre, behavior from players, coaches, and owners than for anything they accomplished on the field. Relive the behind-the-scenes dysfunction, the turmoil of prolonged irrelevance, and the improbable way the Patriots finally ascended to greatness. By turns hilarious and eye-opening, this is an essential history for fans and disparagers alike, and a pointed reminder that the best stories of triumph start with humble beginnings.
