O tym produkcie

Product Information

In November 1934 as the US and Japan drifted toward war, a team of baseball all-stars that included Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, future secret agent Moe Berg, and Connie Mack barnstormed across the Land of the Rising Sun. A tale of international intrigue, espionage, attempted murder, and, of course, baseball, Banzai Babe Ruth is the first detailed account of the doomed attempt to reconcile the US and Japan through the 1934 All American baseball tour.

Reviews
"This dramatic story, equal parts baseball and history, should appeal to anyone interested in Japanese cultural and political history and the sports-politics nexus."-- Library Journal, " Banzai Babe Ruth reads like a multi-stranded mystery novel . . . . Fitts has an eye for the quirky details that make historical writing vivid."-Michael R. Stevens, Books & Culture, "Fitts, a master at depicting all of the key elements in prewar Japanese social and political life, gives the reader valuable insights into the influential moderates trying to hold the line against the army, as well as the American ballplayers taking a victory lap in front of adoring foreign fans. This book is a powerful snapshot of men from two contrasting cultures attempting to stop a slide into aggression." Publishers Weekly"Banzai Babe deserves a spot in any baseball (or Japan) lover's library." Robert Whiting, Wall Street Journal"Banzai Babe Ruth reads like a multi-stranded mystery novel . . . . Fitts has an eye for the quirky details that make historical writing vivid." Michael R. Stevens, Books & Culture"The history lessons in Banzai Babe Ruth go well beyond merely chronicling the games and the players. This is a well-researched, fascinatingly told tale of two super powers whose shared passion for baseball wasn't enough to maintain the peace, though it did help to restore it in the years following World War II." James Bailey, Baseball America"This dramatic story, equal parts baseball and history, should appeal to anyone interested in Japanese cultural and political history and the sports-politics nexus." Library Journal"Banzai Babe Ruth is far more than just a sports story. . . . No one could have told this incredible story better than Robert K. Fitts." ForeWord Reviews, "If I could have taken one road trip with anyone in the history of American sport, I think I would have traveled with Babe Ruth and the All American All-Stars on their eighteen-game tour of Japan in November 1934. With the drumbeat growing louder and louder as World War II approached, with the Babe suddenly at loose ends near the end of his baseball career, and with home runs and innocence dwarfed by political machinations and suspicions, the trip played out like a B-movie potboiler. Luckily for us, Robert K. Fitts invites us along in Banzai Babe Ruth , his well-written chronicle of all that happened."--Leigh Montville, author of The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth, "Rob Fitts masterfully incorporates the forty-plus Japanese actors and American counterparts, detailing their various baseball, business, political, and military concerns and motives."--Southern New England Chapter, Society for American Baseball Research, " Banzai Babe Ruth is far more than just a sports story. . . . No one could have told this incredible story better than Robert K. Fitts."-- ForeWord magazine, " Banzai Babe Ruth is far more than just a sports story. . . . No one could have told this incredible story better than Robert K. Fitts."- ForeWord Reviews, "Fitts, a master at depicting all of the key elements in prewar Japanese social and political life, gives the reader valuable insights into the influential moderates trying to hold the line against the army, as well as the American ballplayers taking a victory lap in front of adoring foreign fans.

Fans will love the stats and player photos, too!"--Tom Lavoie, Shelf Awareness, " Banzai Babe deserves a spot in any baseball (or Japan) lover's library."-Robert Whiting, Wall Street Journal, "How did two nations that shared the values of the same national pastime go from baseballs to bullets? Historian Rob Fitts tells a dark tale of baseball caught between democracy and fascism in prewar Japan. Banzai Babe Ruth is a sayonara home run!"--John Thorn, official historian for Major League Baseball
