Packers Vs. Bears [Paperback]

Glenn Swain (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

Glenn Swain's Packers vs. Bears is the history of one of pro football's oldest rivalries. The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bars have clashed over 150 times on the football field in a 75 year timespan leaving a trail of bruised egos, broken bones, bloody noses, star players, and legendary names like Halas, Lambeau, Starr, Lombardi, Butkus, Nitschke, Hornung, and Payton. Packers vs. Bears is the definitive book on Packer football and a "must read" for all Packer fans! -- and those Chicago folks too. -- Midwest Book Review

Anyone who wants to know the complete story of the rivalry must ready this book. It covers the entire 150 + game series. The interviews are great. The photos are good to. There are some that I have never seen before. A must buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A complete and indepth tale of the Packers and the Bears!, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Packers Vs. Bears (Paperback)

This book is chock-full of the facts and anecdotes that make for a can't-put-it-down read.

I was fascinated by this well-told and well-documented story. I'm not a Packers or Bears fan, pe se, but this book is much more than just a documentation of the teams' rivalry. It's the founding of pro football!

Swain's obvious passion for his subject translates to the page. The tales he tells and the folks he talked to to get them! Don't know how he did it but I'm glad he did! What a joy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great football histroy, January 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Packers Vs. Bears (Paperback)

Great reading on one of the most storied rivalries in football. If you like football and history, a good book. I especially enjoyed the accounts of how Packers fans would call the hotel rooms of the visiting Bears in the middle of the night to disturb their sleep before a game. Good stuff! Go Packers!
