A throughly enjoyable history of the AFL. The book is set up much like a documentary in that you get to 'hear' the voices of the the owners, players, coaches, etc. that lived the wild ride that was the AFL. Miller does a good job of arranging the interviews along with background to propel the book forward from it's humble beginning's thru the Jets and Chiefs triumphs over the NFL in Super Bowls III and IV and the merger in 1970.
