Joe Posnanski’s biography of the late Penn State football
coach Joe Paterno follows in the tradition of works by
Richard Ben Cramer on Joe DiMaggio and David Maraniss on
Vince Lombardi. Having gained unprecedented access to
Paterno, as well as the coach’s personal notes and files,
Posnanski spent the last two years of Paterno’s life
covering the coach, on (and off) the field and through the
scandal that ended Paterno’s legendary career.
Joe Posnanski, who in 2012 was named the Best Sportswriter
in America by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters
Hall of Fame, was with Paterno and his family as a horrific
national scandal unfolded and Paterno was fired. Within
three months, Paterno died of lung cancer, a tragic end to a
life that was epic, influential, and operatic.
Paterno is the fullest description we will ever have of the
man’s character and career. In this honest and surprising
portrait, Joe Posnanski brings new insight and understanding
to one of the most controversial figures in America.
