The Redskins Chronicle
A journey through the history of the Washington Redskins 1937-2008
From:

The Redskins Chronicle by Rich Tandler is brain food for Redskins fans. It's packed with everything you'll ever need to know about the history of the Washington Redskins. Go here to view excerpts from the book and you'll see:
–Original accounts of all 1,040 games the Redskins played from when they arrived in D. C. in 1937 through the 2008 season.
The first Skins game you ever watched? It's in there. Forgotten classics? Got 'em all. The 73-0 loss to Chicago, the 1979 stunner in Dallas, the Body Bag Game, Super Bowl XVIII? There in every painful detail. Remember watching a great game with your kid or your dad? You can relive it. The Quarter, the '42 upset of the Bears in the title game, Riggo's run in the Rose Bowl? All covered from a fresh angle. The '61 win over Dallas to break a 23-game winless streak, the late comeback in '83 against the Raiders, the game when Art Monk set the single season receiving record (and the Skins clinched the division to boot)? In The Redskins Chronicle, you've got it.
–Box scores for each of those 1,040 games including scoring summaries and other information
–72 seasons and offseasons of the inside story–the big trades (what did they give up to get Sonny?), the hirings (how did Lombardi end up here?) and firings (why did George Allen ever leave?), the controversies (the ups and downs of Dexter Manley), the inside story (like the day that Joe Gibbs stormed out of training camp), and hundreds of other nuggets that make up the history of the Washington Redskins
