This expanded second edition will include updated writing from the past five years, and will be released to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of the NFL**x2014;and the Chicago Bears. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Bears is a decade-by-decade look at the team, beginning with George Halas moving the team to Chicago in 1921. The Bears soon became known as the Monsters of the Midway, dominating the sport with four NFL titles in the 1940s, seven winning campaigns in the 1950s, and a final title with Halas as coach in 1963. Their 1985 Super Bowl championship transformed the city's passion into a full-blown love affair that continues today.Professional football was practically born in Chicago, nurtured by Halas through the Depression and a world war.

Now the award-winning journalists, photographers, and editors of the Chicago Tribune have produced a comprehensive collector's item that every Bears fan will love.
