The Dallas Cowboys of the 1970s were one of the most dominant teams in pro football history, appearing in five Super Bowls and claiming two championships in a nine-year span. But during the late 1960s, the Cowboys were known as the team that couldnt win the big one, getting close to the top but failing to seal the dealthey were perpetually next years champions. That all changed in 1971 when the Boys rallied to capture their first-ever title and put the franchise on its way to becoming Americas Team. In Breakthrough 'Boys, Jaime Aron gets the inside stories from former players, coaches, and other key figures to explore the fascinating and tumultuous road the Cowboys took to their first championship in 1971 under coach Tom Landry. Eight years after the assassination of JFK and seven years before the arrival of J. R. Ewing, this team gave the city of Dallas the new identity it needed and changed the face of football forever.

Jaime Aron grew up a Cowboys fan in Houston and later earned a journalism degree from the University of Texas in Austin. He has been covering the Cowboys for the Associated Press since becoming the Texas sports editor in 1999 and was named the APs Sports Writer of the Year in 2001. He has written four previous books, including Dallas Cowboys: The Complete Illustrated History.
