The ultimate book on the 1972 Summit Series. If there is only one book you will ever read on the subject, this should be your choice. Simply one of the best hockey books ever written. The book goes into good detail on how Soviet hockey changed Canadian hockey and the NHL. It also doubles as a good look at the state of hockey in the 1970s.

Brian McFarlane lets the players and coaches of Team Canada 1972 do most of the talking in this photo-filled book. A unique first hand recital. This is one of the newest books available as it was released late in 2001.

Ken Dryden is an accomplished author, with books like The Game and Home Game. But his earliest non-academic work was Face-Off At The Summit in cooperation with journalist Mark Mulvoy. It is essentially a diary of the 1972 Series from the interesting perspective of one of the most cerebral players in hockey history. A fascinating read for all 1972 fans.

Vladislav Tretiak became as much of a hero in Canada as he did in Russia. In his autobiography he gives us a great peak into Soviet hockey and his personal career. It covers much more than just the 1972 Summit Series.
