Review: Troy Aikman (Dorling Kindersley Readers)
Buckley Jr., James. Troy Aikman (Dorling Kindersley Readers). New York: Dorling Kindersley, 2000. HB, 48p., illus. list: 12.95, ISBN: 0-7894-6376-8 This picture-packed bio traces the life of legendary QB Troy Aikman, from his boyhood in Southern California, to his struggles and success at Henryetta HS, OK. Troy first went to college at the University of Oklahoma, but transferred to UCLA after a year. He was more successful at UCLA, winning two bowl games, and becoming the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 overall draft pick in 1989. Troy and the Cowboys struggled for a few years, but he then led the team to three Super Bowl wins in four years from 1992-1995. The Cowboys made the playoffs three more times in the latter half of the 90s, but did not return to the Super Bowl. One very nice feature of this book is the chapter on Troy's charitable work, much of which benefits young children (the primary audience for this book). © Fred Goodwin, February 2, 2008 |
