Jerry Thornton, author of Five Rings: The Super Bowl History of the New England Patriots (So Far), provides an all-access pass to the Patriots’ years of unparalleled greatness.

Since 2001, the Patriots have played in eight Super Bowl championships and won five, a run of excellence unparalleled in all of professional sports. In a league designed to ensure that no one franchise can dominate over time, New England won for over a decade and a half. A dynasty that began with an improbable run to a championship in 2001 has rebuilt, rebooted, and retooled several times over, winning most recently in 2017.

 A book sale & signing will follow the talk.
