From the Publisher:

How does it feel to see your name among the Cowboys greats in Texas Stadium's Ring of Honor? What was it like to be recruited by professional scouts? What happened to the guy that hooked Randy White in the back with a wayward fishhook? How did legendary coach Tom Landry motivate his players? How did a waterbed and transcendental meditation help Cliff Harris gain an edge over his opponents?

Replete with memories from his college days at Ouachita Baptist and then as a member of the Dallas Cowboys during the America's Team era, Cliff answers those questions and more in Captain Crash and the Dallas Cowboys. Read about his teammates, his coach, his enemies, training secrets, Super Bowls - of which Cliff played in five, winning two - Pro Bowls, motorcycles, and motorboats.

In this, his second book, Cliff takes us on the wild ride that was his life as a Cowboy free safety and how he got there in the first place. From being too small for football in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to playing for a small college and somehow managing to attract the attention of Cowboys scout Gil Brandt, to a disastrous Super Bowl XIII game in which nothing went right for the 'Boys, Cliff remembers the obstacles that could have prevented his decade in silver and blue and all the humorous moments along the way to becoming Captain Crash and the Dallas Cowboys.
