"The Dynasty is Jeff Benedict's latest masterpiece. . . . It's a relationship book, it's a football book, it's a business book. . . . I was surprised at the level of detail in Robert Kraft's quotes and his willingness to allow [ the book] to go to some pretty painful places. . . . If you love football the way I do, you'll just eat up these stories." Colin Cowherd, The Herd
An epic business story . . . The Dynasty goes deeper than anyone has before on the Beatles-esque collaboration among an owner, a coach, and a star player. Bloomberg
Most often in our business, there are writers and there are reporters, and rarely do the twain meet. In The Dynasty, Jeff Benedict shows hes masterful at both. His reporting on the very well-worn (trust me) earth of the Patriots greatness is groundbreaking, starting with his illumination of the evening in the hospital in 2001 when Drew Bledsoes life was in peril and going all the way through to previously unknown details of the emotional play-by-play of Tom Bradys departure from New England. The imagery and prose are just as strong. Such a great read from Benedict. Peter King, NBC Sports, author of Football Morning in America
For two decades weve been peering up at the castle looming over the American sportscape with the same mixture of awe, suspicion, and envy with which peasants have peered up at palisades for millennia. So when a deft and lyrical serf named Benedict slips inside, lowers the drawbridge, and waves us in to see the ramparts, towers, turrets, and castle keep where the Brady-Belichick-Kraft trinity ruled . . . how can a peasant resist? Gary Smith, longtime Sports Illustrated writer and author of Beyond the Game
This is an extraordinary book. The narrative is comprehensive, intimate, and original. Ive watched and written about the entire Patriots dynasty, and yet this epic story provides new insights and startling details that I didnt know. I can assure you that theres not another Patriots book like it. Michael Holley, author of Belichick and Brady and Patriot Reign
Smart, engaging . . . Action-packed . . . Benedict has long blended two interestssports and businessand the Patriots are emblematic of both. . . . Good reading for organization builders as well as Pats fans. Kirkus Reviews
"A marvelously told story of the New England Patriots . . . This is the story of a well-run and successful business, very much like Apple or Amazon. . . . You dont need be a sports fan to enjoy this masterpiece study of a successful sports franchise. . . . With substantial research, great attention to detail and superb writing, The Dynasty is a book worthy of the team it chronicles." Book Reporter
"Richly detailed . . . Benedicts book breaks new ground in utilizing the oft-neglected vantage point of the owners box." Hartford Courant
"A page-turner for Patriots fans. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes, untold nuggets, along with more detailed versions of often-told stories that have taken place during Robert Krafts ownership of the team. . . . It was as if Benedict was a fly on the wall for many of these significant events, and in some cases, he was in fact present to witness some indelible moments." Boston Herald
"The Dynasty is an unprecedented peek behind the curtain of the Patriots football machine." Inside Hook Praise for Tiger Woods:
Irresistible . . . Immensely readable . . . The authors have laid out a saga that is part myth, part Shakespeare, part Jackie Collins. . . . Benedict and Keteyian bring us along for the ride in a whirlwind of a biography that reads honest and true. Leigh Montville, The Wall Street Journal There is beauty and awe in this perfectly pitched biography . . . It has torque and velocity . . . Its a confident and substantial book thats nearly as sleek as a Christopher Nolan movie. It makes a sweet sound, like a well-struck golf ball. I found it exhilarating, depressing, tawdry and moving in almost equal measure. Its a big American story. . . . The authors bring grainy new detail to almost every aspect of Woodss life. Dwight Garner, The New York Times Comprehensive, propulsive, packed with incident . . . and unsparing. Ian Crouch, The New Yorker An ambitious 360-degree portrait of golfs most scrutinized figure . . . The book features fresh reporting on almost every significant element of Woods story. . . . It is a book brimming with revealing details. Sam Weinman, Golf Digest Chilling . . . Exhaustively researched . . . The authors present Woods as a man both blessed and cursed by his otherworldly ability to separate his off-the-course problems from his performance on it. Tiger Woods is a fascinating analysis of the former, but for golf fansand probably for Woods himselfhis worth will still be judged by the latter. . . . What Benedict and Keteyian do better than in any biography Ive read about Woods is detail the human costs of this machine-like focus. John Paul Newport, Bloomberg Businessweek
