description: From New York Times bestselling author Lars Anderson comes the first full biography of the top family in American sports. Two generations of Mannings have produced three star quarterbacks: Archie the folk hero at Ole Miss and a star with the Saints; Peyton considered one of the best of all time; and Eli winner of two Super Bowl trophies. It has even been whispered that the oldest Manning boy Cooper who was forced to quit football when he was diagnosed with a rare condition was the most talented of the three. Theirs is a story of victory and faith but it begins with tragedyand it opens a window on how tragedy often leads to exceptionalism.From the Hardcover edition.
