THIRD DOWN AND A WAR TO GO Order the hardback Order the trade paperback, with a foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss More detailed information on Third Down and a War to Go "Many times you hear athletes called heroes, and their deeds and accomplishments on the field are characterized as courageous. After reading Third Down and a War to Go, I am embarrassed to have ever been thought of as brave or courageous . . . Enjoy this adventure in history, life, and courage and take it from a so-called 'tough guy' -- keep the hanky close by." -- Dan Fouts, Hall of Fame quarterback and CBS sportscaster "Third Down and a War to Go will put you in the huddle, in the front lines, and in a state of profound gratitude." -- Neal Rubin, The Detroit News "Brings to life, in shades of black and blue and blood red, the idea that certain things are worth fighting for." -- Rick Morrissey, Chicago Tribune "Mythology is nice. Truth is better. What a powerful piece of work . . . a telling detail in the great portrait of America at war, young men and women who saw their duty and did it no matter how much it scared them." -- Dave Kindred, The Sporting News, and author of Sound and Fury.

'77: DENVER, THE BRONCOS, AND A COMING OF AGE Order the hardback Pre-order the trade paperback (October 2009) More detailed information on '77: Denver, the Broncos and a Coming of Age "This is more than a football book. With all due respect to those who lived in Denver prior to '77, this is about a birth of a city." -- Dave Logan, former NFL receiver, voice of the Denver Broncos, and co-host of KOA Radio's The Ride Home. "...a must-read for fans of the NFL, of the 1970s, and of the American West. You didn't have to live through it in Denver to appreciate this account of the flowering of a franchise and its love affair with a town, but this book takes those of us who did straight back to those thrilling days of yesteryear in unforgettable fashion." -- Michael Knisley, senior deputy editor, ESPN.com "No one knows more about Denver and its sports than Terry Frei does and here in '77 he describes nothing less than the transformation of a city with a special focus on Denver's most magical team. To know why and how the Mile High City exists as it does today, this is essential reading." -- Sandy Clough, FM Sports Radio 104.3, The Fan

HORNS, HOGS, AND NIXON COMING Hardback is out of print and sold out. Order the trade paperback More detailed information on Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming "We had a few friends over who thought we had lost our minds as we whooped and hollered through a football game so exciting it was billed as the Game of the Century. For a few hours, we were innocent again, totally caught up in the contest. The game and its cultural contexts have been beautifully chronicled by Terry Frei in his book Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming." -- Bill Clinton in My Life. "...one of the better - and most readable — books of social history published in recent years." -- Paul Greenberg, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer, Arkansas Democrat Gazette "Frei does a masterful job of weaving in the historical significance of the turbulent times, including Vietnam War protests, the military draft lottery and the civil rights movement that were so much a part of campus life in that era. It's political football at its best." -- Bob Holt, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette "...a superb blending of sports, history, and politics." -- Si Dunn, Dallas Morning News

Terry Frei at the White House with Bill Clinton. Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming includes revelatory material about Clinton's July 1969 draft-notice and ROTC dealings with Colonel Eugene Holmes, the Bataan Death March survivor destined to be the father-in-law of Arkansas tailback Bill Burnett. Clinton wrote his subsequently notorious and angst-filled letter to Holmes on Dec. 3, 1969, two days after Clinton drew a "safe" number in the draft lottery, and the letter was on its way to Fayetteville from England as Clinton listened to and Holmes attended the game.
