Rickey and Robinson

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. -- Billy Sample, host, Major League Baseball Radio
A vivid account of the two as genuine American heroes. * The Instrumentalist *
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 *
One of the best . . . brutally honest with no punches pulled. * Amsterdam News *
A fine and sympathetic biography. * Library Journal *
A celebration, a nostalgic account. * EBONY *
An unusual and deeply moving book. * Publishers Weekly *
Frommer's analysis of Rickey's motives sets this book apart. . . . [Rickey and Robinson] raises all the right questions in interesting ways. * Booklist *
Thorough research, a vivid account. * Chicago Tribune *
Pleasant, upbeat look at this unusual pair. * Kirkus *
Interesting and exciting book. * Jersey Journal *
Mr. Harvey Frommer, a friend of the NLBPA, has published another great book . . .
