Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographs. "Named "Bes…t Book of the Year" for 1992 by the North American Society for Sport History" - from the rear outer cover. "A rich tapestry of anecdotal and biographical material .the book trancends mere hero worship and ethnic pride to impart insight into some of the less explored processes of Jewish-American history." - The Washington Post Book World. "Evoke((s) the flavor of the experience as the people of the time lived it .Profoves thought andbout the implications and limitations of the assimilation process itself .It rings true." - The New York Times Book Review. "Illuminates not only aspects and the felt meaning of Jewishness. It also provides terrific material for reflections on the comparative experience of Jews and African Americans .A valuable contribution." - Tikkun. "An excellent overview .Thoroughly researched and well documented and calls attention to the need to recognize the Jewish presence in professional sports." - Howard Cosell. "A serious and thoughtful treatment of American Jewish history as seen through changing Jewish experience in sports .A significant contribution to understanding what happened and what is happening to Jews in AMerica." - The Jewish World. "As on-target as a Sid Luckman pass, more powerful than a Hank Greeberg homer, as convincing as a Benny Leonard left, Levine's fresh and lively stories about the rich and varied lives of the Jewish jock are also brilliant replays of American history, the culture of sports and the commonality of peoples." - RObert Lipsyte, columnist, The New York Times. "These stories and recollections give the reader a vivid sense of what sport must have meant to first and second-generation Jews in this country and the recapturing of this vanished world is Mr. Levine's real achievement." - Moment. "Entertaining and informative, everything a good work of popular history should be." - Detroit Free Press. Freeman, Irving (cover design) (illustratore).

Fine unread condition cinnamon boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction by Gamaliel Bradford; Rear Section entitled: New Material by William Taylor Thom and Index. "Robert E.…Lee was certainly the most heroic figure of the Civil War. But to many, he is a solitary figure, placed upon a pedestal of distant acclaim. The Recollections and Letters fleshes out the man, as well as probing the workings of a great military mind and a warm, understanding and generous human being. Not only a wartime leader of great courage, he was one of the most outspoken proponents of a reasonable peace, a peace which would allow the South to rejoin the Union with dignity and honor. At the end of the war he offered himself up, humbly, asking only to be of use to the country. As President of Washington College (shortly to be renamed Washington and Lee University), he became a driving force for the creation of a viable educational system in the South, one which would train the leaders of the future. Recollections and Letters shows all these facets of the General, through his correspondence and through the warm and revealing insight supplied by his son. Truly, no other source materials give such a whole and rewarding picture of one of the South's greatest sons and heroes." - from the inner front jacket flap. Freeman, Irving (cover design) (illustratore).

As new unread condition dark blue boards, navy blue cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates an…d photographic front and rear endpapers. Signed and inscribed by baseball Hall of Famer Don Drysdale with blue pen on the verso of the second free front half title page (see photographs). "When a tall, wide-eyed, hard-throwing rookie righthander first walked into the clubhouse of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he wasn't sure that he belonged there. Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Carl Furillo - these were the Bums, the pride of the Ebbets Field faithful, and the young pitcher from Van Nyys, California, had never seen baseball played quite like they played it. But Don Drysdale did belong, and he went on to a Hall of Fame career, winning 209 games for the Dodgers. Once a Bum, Always a Dodger is his warmly nostalgic and entertaining recollection of a life in baseball on both coasts. Beginning in 1956 - when the Dodgers won the National League championship, only to lose the World Series to Don Larsen and the New York Yankees - Drysdale evokes the special quality of baseball in Brooklyn: a magical relationship between a team and a city that would end in heartbreak. The controversial move to Los Angeles in 1958 marked the end of one era, as the Bums were dismantled by age and injury, and the beginning of another. The Los Angeles Dodgers were one of the dominant teams of the late 1950s and the 1960s, winning four pennants and three World Championships. Baseball in the West was a homecoming for Drysdale, and he starred with Sandy Koufax as the most dominant pair of pitchers in the National League. Anecdotes about Koufax (including the inside story of their famous joint holdout in 1966), Frank Howard, Johnny Podres, Walter Alston, and the other Dodgers spice Drysdale's honest and often humorous look at the fine art of pitching and intimidation. (He holds the National League record for hitting batters, and was known to throw a spitter or two.) After retiring in 1969, Don Drysdale became a successful broadcaster. His experiences in the booth - including a spirited chapter on his friend Howard Cosell - and his frank opinions on the game today round out a book that any red-or-Dodger-blue-blooded baseball fan will read with pleasure." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Freeman, Irving (jacket design) (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).
