Their Life's Work: The Brotherhood of the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers, Then and Now

With immersive reporting, respect, and honesty, Pomerantz tells the full story of the greatest dynasty in football historyâ€”the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers.

One team. Four Super Bowl championships. Twelve Hall of Famers. Two hundred interviews.

They were the best to ever play the game: the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s. Three decades later their names echo in popular memoryâ€”Mean Joe, Bradshaw, Webster, Lambert, Ham, Blount, Franco, Swann, and Stallworth. They define not only the brotherÂhood and camaraderie of football, but what Americans love about their most popular sport: its artistry and its brutality. From the teamâ€™s origins in a horseplayerâ€™s winnings to the young armored gods who immaculately beat the Raiders in 1972 to the grandfathers with hobbles in their gait, Their Lifeâ€™s Work tells the full, intimate story of the Steeler dynasty. But this book does much more than that: it tells footballâ€™s story. What the game gives, what it takes, and why, to a man, every Steeler, full well knowing the costs, unhesitatingly states, â€œIâ€™d do it again.â€
