NEW MATERIAL FROM THE 2005-2006 SEASON "It's not about me versus Dean, or me against Roy or Dean against Vic Bubas. Duke and Carolina will be here forever." ---Mike Krzyzewski For fifty years the rivalry between Duke and Carolina has featured famous brawls, endless controversy, long-nurtured hatred---and some of the best basketball ever played in the history of the sport. For Duke and UNC players and fans, the competition is not about winning a prize, trophy or title---it's about bragging rights and raw pride. Blue Blood is a thrilling chronicle of the Duke-Carolina rivalry as it has evolved over the last fifty years. With unparalleled insider access, veteran journalist and author Art Chansky details the colorful, revered, and respected rivalry---for the first time ever. The Duke-Carolina rivalry has fostered more than thirty former players from the two schools playing or coaching in the NBA; it has enchanted a nation of spectators to watch games between the archrivals---garnering some of the highest regular-season TV ratings in history.Blue Blood celebrates the history of this rivalry, the traditions, the heritage, and, most importantly---spectacular basketball. "You can see the beads of sweat on coaches' and players' faces as the tale by this former sports editor for theDurham Morning Herald unfolds." ---News & Record (Greensboro, NC) "A book on this rivalry was long overdue, and Chansky does it justice. This is sure to become a staple of every Tar Heel or Blue Devil fan's library." ---InsideCarolina.com "A holy text for both sides of the rivalry. . . . This book is a coffee table necessity for anyone that claims to have a background in college basketball . . . you need to read this book cover to cover as many times as possible until you can recite from it."---The East Carolinian "I'm biased, but I think this is the greatest rivalry, not just in college basketball, but in all of sports." ---Dick Vitale, ESPN "Art Chansky has more than learned what Duke-Carolina is all about; he'slived it for more than thirty years. His columns, commentaries, and characterizations have long been on the money, andBlue Blood puts them all together in an anticipated and entertaining work that reads more like a novel. But truthis stranger than fiction, and Chansky tells it just like it is." ---Curry Kirkpatrick, who has covered Duke-Carolina forSports Illustrated, ESPN, andESPN the Magazine… (plus d'informations)
As a Duke fan myself, there was no doubt reading this book where the author's loyalties belong. A UNC guy, Chansky nonetheless presents as balanced a history of the rivalry between Duke and UNC men's basketball teams as a biased observer ever could, a tremendously difficult objective given the history of the teams. There is some very nice history here, especially from the early days of each team's ascent to greatness. Some of the recollections brought goosebumps as I remembered the events Chansky describes.
Later parts of the book feel rushed, and large chunks of seasons, and even Duke-UNC games, are simply whisked by at times. As another reviewer noted, there are many perspectives that are missed entirely, especially from players and fans as the later parts of the book turn a bit clinical. Numerous critiques of Coach K (an undeniably divisive individual) are not cleanly balanced by many of the critiques available to the author's crush, Dean Smith. Coach K is presented as a successful but wholely antagonistic coach whose actions are nearly always tinged with some objectionable traits, a telling sign of Chansky's loyalties.
That said, I did enjoy this book greatly and plan to reread chunks of it in the offseason when I'm jonesing for some Duke basketball. Three and one-half stars. You'll love the book if you are a UNC fan, and probably like it if you are a Duke or NCAA basketball fan. ( )
