In our initial dozen Boston.com Book Club books, we’ve read books about sports, but we haven’t yet read one that focused on a Boston pro sports team. That changes in October, as our pick is “It’s Better to Be Feared: The New England Patriots Dynasty and the Pursuit of Greatness” by ESPN’s Seth Wickersham.
The book, which comes out on Oct. 12, focuses on the 20-year reign of the Patriots as they ascended to become football’s greatest dynasty. Wickersham started his career at ESPN in the same year that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady landed in New England, and Wickersham has pored through a lot of his own interviews.
