There were a few iconic football books written in the 1970s. I Am Third by Gale Sayers and A Short Season by Brian Piccolo are a couple. The book Fighting Back by Rocky Bleier is another one of those books. Rocky initially wrote the book about his life in 1975, after the Steelers won Super Bowl IX. He recently updated the book and re-released it in 2018. I read both editions and enjoyed both reads thoroughly. Even though you may know how his story transpired, the story never gets old. It impressed me more each time I read it. Rocky eloquently talks about his life and also the writing of this book.
