Summary: Essential
Review: "Purple Hearts and Golden Memories" is essential book for any serious fan of Minnesota sports. It is by far the most complete and comprehensive source of Viking information. You will not find a list of say, every Viking who has ever been in training camp along with their jersey number/numbers worn in any other text available. The only thing it lacks it complete game by game statistics. But I know of only one other reference that includes such info, and that is an extremely rare 15th Anniversary softcover publication which I believe was only sent to season ticket holders. This book is a must have. Like the reviewer listed above, I believe this book will be out of print shortly.

Summary: 35 years is an interesting trip for even the newest fan.
Review: This book, which looks as if it will not be available for too long, is a must for any collector of Viking history. With large sections given to all the coaches in this franchises' 35 year history, it quickly shows the character of the teams throughout each era From the drill sergeant-like coaches, to the laid back genius of Bud Grant Extensive interviews and quotes from previous players are everywhere.
