1. Midwest Book Review: "Cold Wars: 40 Years of Packer-Viking Rivalry by football enthusiast Todd Mishler is an informative review of every game that these cherished Green Bay Packer and Minnesota Viking football teams have played since 1960. Filled cover to cover with anecdotes, insights and cheers from players, coaches, sports writers and fans, Cold Wars is enthusiastically recommended as an engaging history perfect for Wisconsin and Minnesota football buffs and could well serve as a template for writing books about other historic football rivalries!"
2. Tom Oates, sports columnist, Wisconsin State Journal: "Author Todd Mishler somehow manages to present both sides of a rivalry that in the 1990s turned into one of the NFL's best. ... It may be hard for Packer fans to hate the Vikings as much as they hate the Bears, but that shouldn't stop them from loving this book."
3. Bob Lurtsema, 12-year NFL veteran and publisher of Vikings Update magazine: "Reading Cold Wars was the greatest walk down memory lane I have ever encountered. ... I still hate the Cheeseheads, but they know I love them. This rivalry will never die. |

you. Make sure you get a copy. It will be
money well spent on a book you won't soon forget.” Barbara Buhrer Reviewer for MyShelf.com ”The culmination of
the main characters’ struggle is reflected in the game between
Dallas and Green Bay. It is a suspenseful, colorful
and beautiful narration. ”This is not just a romantic financial
thriller. It is a paean to the Green Bay
Packers. No football fan should miss the accounts
of their history, their players their traditions. The loyalty
of the Green Bay fans through good times and bad is steadfast.
The accounts of the football games are graphic, and well
done, with the reader able to picture the action. |

Sports and Outdoors Editor's Recommended Book, 11/01/97:
One of the unexpected offshoots of a championship season is that the history of the
winners become interesting again. Of course, the Packers' past is long and storied; that
Vernon Biever has been there to record it with his camera for more than 50 years gives the
team's history another thread of continuity. This wonderful collection of vintage and
current Packer pictures, accompanied by mini oral histories--from Don Hutson catching a
pass to a pensive Vince Lombardi to a cheesehead in full battle array--makes for a
delightful celebration of a unique professional franchise. |
