Can anyone recommend a good Darrell Royal biography?

I looked around on Amazon and BN.com but nothing seemed like a great combination of personal biography and 40 acres exploits. I'm looking for this as a Christmas gift for someone who knows nothing about Coach Royal and wants a great overall picture that shows how he changed Texas, college football, etc. Sort of the authoritative soup-to-nuts that shows both sides of the man. Thank you in advance for any ideas.

I have a few DKR biographies in book form,

but none quite capture the emotion like this video by Dallas-native Hollywood Producer Rich Hull.

I have given this award-winning video to several to other fans and they have enjoyed it as well. (Full disclosure: Hull is a family friend, but I’m not promoting it for that reason. He made this as a way of giving back to this great state, and proceeds go the Mike Campbell Scholarship Fund.)

If you must have a book, I have the first three listed here (all signed by DKR, of course), and would say the Dan Jenkins book is the best of those.

Hook ’em!
