The Bowdens are the First Family of college football. Bobby, the father, built the winningest program of the decade at Florida State. Son Terry took over an Auburn team on probation and led it back into the top tier of the sport. Son Tommy is Auburn's offensive coordinator and will likely get his own program in the next few seasons. Son Jeff, now coaching Florida State receivers, will earn his own head coaching opportunity one day. So will the boys' brother-in-law Jack Hines - who played for Bobby, married his oldest daughter, Robyn, and now coaches with Terry at Auburn. Reading this book is like accepting an exclusive invitation to a Bowden family gathering, where discussions range from informal debates about the best winning strategy to disarmingly candid appraisals of the racial undercurrents of college athletics. Listen to inside stories of key moments in Games of the Century, of the recruiting and coaching of famous athletes such as Deion Sanders and Charlie Ward. Hear how it feels to be trapped inside a locker room with angry fans pounding on the door, to be the son of a coach hanged in effigy, to have to choose between the interests of a troubled young athlete and the image of a football program. Learn, with the Bowdens, the lessons of careers measured in clock ticks and place-kicks.

On the last day of February 1991, President Bush stopped a war that had been devastating for the Iraqis but a confident victory for the Allied forces. Now Iraq's Kurds are fleeing to Iran and Turkey in their thousands in fear of massacre by Saddam Hussein's forces. Ben Brown was in Riyadh for most of the Gulf War, and in Kuwait City when it was liberated. David Shukman was monitoring the air and ground war from London. Here they talk to key participants - pilots, Iraqi and British soldiers, American generals - to analyze the causes and conduct of the war and the Kurdish crisis that followed it. They look, too, at the "secret war" played out by human and satellite intelligence and Britain's SAS, and at disinformation - were the Allies led to overestimate the prowess of the Republican Guard and the number of its troops in Kuwait?
