Description: Signed by Jack Gilden and inscribed with a personal message to football legend Michael Strahan, this book delves into the complex relationship between quarterback Johnny Unitas and coach Don Shula of the 1960s Baltimore Colts. Despite their success, they never won a championship together, losing in stunning upsets in 1964 and Super Bowl III. The Colts' near misses were some of the most confounding losses in sports history. The book explores their personal conflict and how it mirrored the tumultuous era of Vietnam, civil rights, and cultural change. "Collision of Wills" reveals how their animosity fueled the Colts during a time when their losses were as memorable as their victories. Also included with this signed hardcover copy is a personalized "thank you" note from the author to Michael Strahan, thanking him for reviewing the original manuscript for his next book: "The Fast Ride: Spectacular Bid and the Undoing of a Sure Thing." In this 2022 book, Jack Gilden uncovers the true story behind Spectacular Bid, the acclaimed racehorse who won the 1979 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes but lost the Triple Crown due to a series of bizarre, previously unreported events.
