Former Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen has signed a publishing contract with Regnery Publishing to write a book, "The Triumph of Character: What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports. "

The book, to be released in June 2010, will bring together two all-American passions -- politics and sports -- and reveals what Washington could learn from the principles found in athletic competition and team sports, according to a press release.

Allen, the son of a NFL Hall of Fame Coach, played football and rugby at the University of Virginia. He is the founder and chairman of the American Energy Freedom Center and president of George Allen Strategies, LLC.
