Bryant, the legendary football coach for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, set a major college record of 323 wins during his storied career. In this biography, journalist Dunnavant portrays a poor Arkansas farm boy who became a hard-nosed football player and an equally tough coach. After tours at Kentucky and Texas A&M, "Bear"‘whose nickname came from a bout with a live animal‘came to stay as the feared but admired Crimson Tide mentor. Stressing loyalty and discipline, he did not hesitate to suspend Joe Namath and other transgressors. Updating Bryant's own Bear (Little, Brown, 1974) this account cites the subject's failings‘drinking, smoking, and gambling‘along with accomplishments. Recommended for public and high school libraries.‘Morey Berger, St. Joseph's Hosp. Lib., Tucson, Ariz.
