"From the beginning of the National Football League and the origins of the term Super Bowl to the transformation of the halftime show, this book provides a concise, informative history of the football's annual championship. Even better, though, are the lively descriptions of the noteworthy games and the most memorable moments in Super Bowl history, starting with the greatest upset (1969) and ending with the greatest comeback (2017). Neither too detailed nor too technical, these highly readable narratives will interest even casual football fans. The book concludes with a short chapter recalling off-the-field highlights and another considering possible future changes, such as additional protective gear and the possibility of international teams. The attractive presentation includes a few vintage photos from the early years of pro football, as well as many colorful actions shots from the Super Bowl era. From the dependable Spectacular Sports series, which includes Doeden's The Final Four (2016) and The College Football Championship (2015), here’s another solid addition to sports shelves."—Booklist
