In post-war San Francisco, city native Tony Morabito's audaciously defied the NFL to build one of the most colorful and dominant teams of the era. This is the only comprehensive account of the San Francisco 49ers' formative years in the All-America Football Conference. Tired of repeated rejection from the NFL, Morabito founded the team in 1946, and for the next four seasons fielded a team led by coach Buck Shaw, quarterback Frankie Albert, halfback Joe Perry, fullback Norm Standlee, and many others considered the best players of their time. Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this history recounts explosive on-field action as well as behind-the-scenes maneuverings as the AAFC fought for its existence. It offers an essential look at Morabito's grit and determination that cemented an enduring and beloved sports franchise.
