Acerca de este título

 From a New York Times bestselling author, a deeply reported account of how the USC Trojan football team captivated the sporting world in the 2000s.

The University of Southern California received thousands of calls, emails and letters in 2001, after hiring former NFL coach, Pete Carroll, to resurrect its moribund program. Carroll was a “failure,” a “fraud,” and a “flake” according to USC boosters, the fans in Los Angeles and the college football cognoscenti. But by the middle of the decade, he had turned USC into a legendary juggernaut, with multiple Heisman Trophy winners and national championships.

In Men of Troy, Monte Burke, provides the definitive account of this singular dynasty, based on original reporting and more than 150 new interviews. Burke illustrates how Carroll and his colorful cast of coaches and players—including cross-eyed quarterback turned national heartthrob, Matt Leinart, and the electric, generational running back, Reggie Bush—not only took over college football, but Los Angeles and the country, as well.

Burke not only takes readers through the iconic games of the era, but also behind the scenes—in the locker room, on the recruiting trail and into the LA nightlife scene, where the players enjoyed their celebrity status and, at times, succumbed to illicit temptations. He also puts the dynasty in proper context, tracing the breathtaking rise of the program, the sudden and inglorious fall, and the scandal that left a program in ruins and precipitated the drastic changes that led to the current era of college football.

Reseñas de la crítica

"From his first words until his last Burke has crafted a spellbinding tale of the rise and fall of a college football dynasty that slips into your head and heart and never lets go. Men of Troy may seem like ancient history to some but in the brave new world of NIL the portraits of Pete Carroll, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinhart alone serve as rich, revealing (and oh so ironic) reminders of a system one court called a “classic cartel.” In writing, reporting and truth telling a book destined to become a classic."—Armen Keteyian, 11-time Emmy Award-winner and 6-time NYT bestselling author
“If you love college football, Men of Troy is your ticket to the story of Pete Carroll and the most fascinating era of USC football—not to mention to one of the greatest games ever played. It’s a story right out of Hollywood but all true, detailing how Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Carroll became the biggest celebrities in a city full of them. There’s enough drama in this book to keep you reading through the fourth quarter.”—Heather Dinich, Senior College Writer, ESPN
