"What makes this book a must-read for Giants fans—for all football-lovers, in fact—is Ralph Vacchiano's reporting." —Peter King, Sports Illustrated and NBC Sports

Eli Manning is about to lead the New York Giants into the Super Bowl for the second time, and Giants fans are hungry for the full story of the young leader who is quickly becoming a legendary quarterback. Eli Manning: The Making of a Quarterback by Daily News sportswriter Ralph Vacchiano tells the story of the "ELIte" quarterback. Follow Eli from the bold draft-day trade that brought him to New York, through his dramatic ups and downs on and off the field, his first training camp, his last-minute heroics in Super Bowl XLII, and even his win over the 49ers that made the Giants the 2011 NFC champions.

With exclusive interviews with NFL stars, coaches, and executives, a foreword by former Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, and a new afterword written by the author that brings the book up to date, Vacchiano uses his unfettered access to the World Champion Giants to present a true behind-the-scenes look at the quarterback and team that defied the odds more than once.
