Books on Jerry Jones?

[Oszuscik]

There seem to be a few but, frankly, I don't know if they're any good. Does anybody have any recommendations on books about Jerry Jones, warts and all? Not a Jones-sanctioned puff piece. Jeff Pearlman's book on the '90s Cowboys is pretty great and covers Jones's background, but I wasn't sure if a good standalone biography existed.

The Boys by Skip Bayless is good, though some believe its pro-Jones and anti-Johnson. I felt the book was fair to both, though Jones might have gotten more credit as a "GM" than he should have.

I have two, but I haven't read either one:

King of the Cowboys, Jim Dent (1995)
Playing to Win, David Magee (2008)

Of the two, I'd bet that Dent's book is not a "puff piece"; OTOH, it's thirty years old.
Magee's book sounds like it could be a puff piece, but again, I haven't read either, so I can't say for sure. It's also a bit dated.

You might check your local library to see if they have one or both. Good luck.
