Rickey and Robinson: The Men Who Broke Baseball's Color Barrier
Mr. Harry Frommer, a friend of the NLBPA has published another great book...A vivid account of the two as genuine American heroes. (Washington Post)One of the best...brutally honest with no punches pulled. (Amsterdamn News)A fine and sympathetic biography. (Library Journal)Interesting and exciting book. (Jersey Journal)Thorough research, a vivid account. (Chicago Tribune)A celebration, nostalgic account. (Ebony)Pleasant, upbeat look at this unusual pair. (Kirkus)I've read more than a dozen books on the Rickey/Robinson tandem and I must say that Frommer's is the best structured. He brings Robinson's persona alive, proving why he was the first black man selected to break the racial barrier. (Art Rust Jr.Black Issues Book Review)Just a terrific book. It fills in so many of the blanks about the story of Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey. It's like a history lesson. And the intro by Monte Irvin puts it over the top...highly recommended.
