It only took 50 years for the original Team Canada to fully participate in a book about that September, in 1972. John U. Bacon, a seven-time best-selling author based in Ann Arbor, Mich., was drafted to put "The Greatest Comeback" into words for a new generation. Through unfettered access, Bacon expands upon the time-honoured narrative about the Summit Series by blending in modern hockey analytics and a historian's eye for detail.
