The Redskins Encyclopedia (Publication Date: September 2007) is the most comprehensive history of the storied football team, with all 75 seasons of the franchise covered in, well, encyclopedic detail. From George Preston Marshall’s desire to launch a team in the 1920s to the current roster,

Michael Richman provides a game-by-game account that brings readers right into the action—on the gridiron and off. The Redskins Encyclopedia recounts the team’s most memorable moments—such as the three Super Bowl wins in the glory years of the 1980s and early 90s, along with the less flattering periods in the team’s history. Sidebars describe stunts such as coach George Allen pursuing wrestler Andre The Giant for the Redskins back in 1975, and the inside story of quarterback Joe Theismann’s career-ending leg injury. Richman writes enthusiastically about his favorite team and provides a treasure trove of anecdotes, trivia, quotes, and stats. The Redskins Encyclopedia features 120 player and coach bios, including portraits of legends, as well as honors, statistics, and all-time Redskin Bests. This is a must-have book for any fan.
