Steel Curtain: A Complete Chronicle of Pittsburgh's Pro Football Legacy - Paperback

Metadata / Back Cover Blurb:

From Art Rooney's 1933 gamble during the Great Depression to the rise of the Steel Curtain, the Super Bowl dynasty of the 1970s, the Cowher revival, the Roethlisberger championships, and the modern search for the next great era, Steel Curtain: A Complete Chronicle of Pittsburgh's Pro Football Legacy tells the full story of one of professional football's most enduring franchises.

Written in a polished, fact-based narrative style, this book traces the Pittsburgh Steelers across more than nine decades: the early Pirates years, wartime mergers, Chuck Noll's historic rebuild, the Immaculate Reception, four Super Bowls in six seasons, Blitzburgh, Jerome Bettis's final ride, Mike Tomlin's championship era, the Killer B's, and the post-Roethlisberger transition. It is a complete chronicle of the people, games, rivalries, draft decisions, stadiums, and standards that made Pittsburgh football a national institution.

For readers who want a flowing, accessible, deeply researched account of the Steelers' legacy, this book follows the franchise from survival to dynasty, from heartbreak to renewal, and from one generation of black-and-gold icons to the next.
