Book Description
The candid, never-before-heard history of the past 40 years of USC Trojans Football—whose storied alumni include O.J.Simpson, Reggie Bush, Keyshawn Johnson, and more—as told by the players and coaches who survived it “The untold story behind USC’s success on the field and the scandal off it, from those who lived it day after day.”—Armen Keteyian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tiger Woods and correspondent for 60 Minutes Sports Over the years, USC has produced an almost unrivaled level of success: 11 national titles, 38 conference championships, 7 Heisman Trophy winners and 80 All-Americans, while also grooming countless NFL stars. From Todd Marinovich and Keyshawn Johnson to Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, some of the greatest and most memorable college football players of all time have suited up for the Trojans. And under the leadership of legendary coaches like John Robinson and Pete Carroll, they’ve played in some of college football’s most celebrated big games. At the same time, few big-time football programs are as tumultuous as USC. From battles with the NCAA to bitter internal conflicts between coaches, players, and administration and all-out brawls with hated rivals like Notre Dame, the Trojans’ dominance has often gone hand in hand with controversy. In Cardinal and Gold, respected journalist Steve Delsohn tells the full and unvarnished story of the USC program at its best and worst. From the dynastic “Tailback U” years of the 1970s, to the dominance of the Carroll years, right through the upheaval of the modern era, Cardinal and Gold is a must-read for any fan of USC or major college football.

Book Description
“A riveting portrait of the day-to-day life of a wealthy, worldly Renaissance prince” as he pursues power and influence in the Catholic church (USA Today). The second son of Alfonso d’Este and Lucretia Borgia, the Duke and Duchess of Ferrara, Ippolito d’Este was made the archbishop of Milan at the age of nine. But from the time of his father’s death in 1534, he set his ambitions on acquiring the powerful and coveted cardinal’s hat. But one did not become a sixteenth century prince of the church through piety and good works. Ippolito had a taste for gambling and women. He enjoyed hunting in the Loir valley and pursued his ambition with money, schmoozing, and the dark arts of politics. Working with Ippolito’s letters and ledgers, recently uncovered in an archive in Modena, Italy, Mary Hollingsworth has pieced together a fascinating and undeniably titillating tale of this Renaissance cardinal and his road to power and wealth in sixteenth century Europe. The ledgers document every aspect of Ippolito’s comings, goings, purchases, and debts. Out of these finely detailed records, Hollingsworth brings to life not only Ippolito, but his world. “In this brilliant piece of historical detective work and narrative reconstruction . . . the most unlikely bits and pieces—a scrap of velvet, a stray barrel of wine—can be made to tell stories that resonate far beyond the neat columns of a well-kept account book.” —The Guardian
