I read in the Fall 2010 issue of Alabama Alumni Magazine that best-selling author Keith Dunnavant, who graduated from UA in 1988, recently launched an online magazine covering Alabama football history, CrimsonReplay.com.The magazine also mentioned that Dunnavant’s fifth book, a biography of former Alabama and Green Bay Packers quarterback, Bart Starr, will be published this fall by St. Martin’s Press.
Of course, this got me to wondering about what other books Dunnavant has published over the years. Tonight, courtesy of his Web site, keithdunnavant.com, I give you a complete list of his books.
Without further ado, here they are in chronological order:
1996 – Coach (An autobiography of Paul Bear Bryant)
1999 – Time Out! (The story of a businessman’s year-long adventure of attending sporting events all across America, from the Super Bowl to the Iditarod)
2004 – The Fifty-Year Seduction (The inside story of how television shaped the evolution of college football, from the birth of the modern NCAA to the creation of the BCS)
2006 – The Missing Ring (The story of how Bear Bryant and the 1966 Alabama Crimson Tide were denied the national title.)
The only book of Dunnavant’s that I’ve had a chance to read is “Coach,” which was pretty awesome. I can’t imagine a more thorough biography of Bryant being written.
In the end, how many of Dunnavant’s books have you had a chance to read? What did you think about them? Which would you recommend? Let us know in the comments section below.
