Description
In Rickey & Robinson, legendary sportswriter Roger Kahn reveals the true, unsanitized account of the integration of baseball--a story that for decades has relied largely on inaccurate, secondhand reports. Focusing on Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson, Kahn's account is based on exclusive reporting and his personal reminiscences, including revelatory material he buried in his notebooks in the '40s and '50s.
Rickey and Robinson were chiefly responsible for making integration happen. Through in-depth examinations of both men, Kahn separates fact from myth to present a truthful portrait of baseball and its participants at a critical juncture in American history.

Rickey & robinson
This book has little to do with the title! It a rant on mistreatment of,Blacks,Jews and of all things communists. His first book-"boys of summer" was a delight but that is what happens when you get in your 80's Loss of focus and self absorbabed.
Rickey & Robinson
Once again Mr. Kahn shows his brilliance as a writer. This book which he says will be his last is an incredible account of the world of baseball prior to integration. His antidotes will keep you on edge. Please do not put any credence to the rants of the uneducated in the prior review by dizy7. Read the review by Leigh Montville, a tri baseball historian, and then read this book.
