Based on more than 90 original interviews, here is the rollicking chronicle of the famed Washington Redskins teams of the Joe Gibbs yearsone of the most remarkable and unique runs in NFL history. From 1981 to 1992, Gibbs coached the franchise to three Super Bowl victories, making the team the toast of the nations capital, from the political elite to the inner city, and helping to define one of the sports legendary eras. Veteran sportswriter Adam Lazarus masterfully charts the Redskins rise from mediocrity (the franchise had never won a Super Bowl and Gibbss first year as head coach started with a five-game losing streak that almost cost him his job) to its stretch of four championship games in ten years. What makes their sustained success all the more remarkable, in retrospect, is that unlike the storied championship wins of Joe Montanas 49ers and Tom Bradys Patriots, the Redskins Super Bowl victories featured a different starting quarterback: Joe Theismann in 1983, the franchises surprising first championship run; Doug Williams in 1988, a win full of meaning for a majority African American city during a tumultuous era; and Mark Rypien in 1992, capping one of the greatest seasons of all time, one that stands as Gibbss masterpiece. A must-read for any fan, Hail to the Redskins builds on Lazaruss interviews with key inside sources to vividly re-create the plays, the players, the fans, and the opponents that shaped this unforgettable football dynasty.
