This book portrays the most important achievement of Esporte Clube Bahia in its 88 years of history: the title of the 1st Taça Brasil, a national competition that began on August 23, 1959 and concluded on March 29, 1960, with the participation of 16 state champions. . Anyone who sees today the ordeal of the northeastern clubs to avoid being relegated to series B of the Brazilian Championship, must imagine the difficulties faced by Bahia, stepping onto the Maracanã pitch for the first time, to obtain a brilliant victory over the famous Vasco da Gama. What then can we say about the undisputed triumphs against the fantastic Santos, in Vila Belmiro and in Rio? In addition to rescuing all 14 of the team's games and yet another extension of that memorable campaign, the author of 'Heroes of 59' – just a 12-year-old boy, at the beginning of the 60s of the last century – stood up, with the shrewd look of journalist, important facts that at the time did not receive the attention they deserved and ended up getting lost among other news. It is an important historical document for younger fans, Tricolor or not, who did not have the pleasure of seeing that team, fearless, supportive, tactically perfect and almost unbeatable in Fonte Nova, deservedly Brazilian champion.
