“This book is mesmerizing. This not just a great book about football, but an important piece of history for anyone who loves Kansas City.” —Peter King, NBC Sports

An intimate portrait of one of the most important (and overlooked) teams in pro football history, and one of the great champions of the Super Bowl era. With vivid support from the candid, intimate photography of Rod Hanna, the story traces the Chiefs from the devastating end to the 1968 season, the myriad adversity of the beginning of the 1969 campaign, through the historic Super Bowl IV, which forever changed perceptions of the Chiefs, the AFL, and Kansas City.
