Reviews

"A fantastic and thought-provoking analysis of how two men championed the fight for racial harmony in segregated America via different rules of engagement. A must-read for any serious student of baseball and American history." - Larry Lester, historian for the Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame "Bill Kashatus has given us a very human account of Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella." - Monte Irvin, New York Giants Hall of Famer "Kashatus sheds new and important insight on the Robinson-Campanella relationship by placing it in the larger framework of African American history." - Larry Hogan, author of Shades of Glory: The Negro Leagues and the Story of African-American Baseball
