Review
This is an excellent presentation that merges urban politics with the impact of sports in urban culture. (Daniel R. Smedley, Temple Univ.)
This is a very interesting book. It does an excellent job of presenting its story. (Robert K. Whelan, Univ. of New Orleans)
A scholarly work that analyzes in dispassionate detail the real reasons why the Brooklyn Dodgers were uprooted in 1957 and moved three thousand miles to Los Angeles. (Sports Illustrated)
A well-told tale of two cities and one professional sports franchise....Engrossing, persuasively documented. (Kirkus Reviews)
Sullivan's examination of the details of [the Brooklyn Dodgers' move West] is outstanding. (The Sporting News)
Clearly expands our understanding of this significant sporting development, and Sullivan should be praised for his courageous attempt to swim against the currents of popular sentiment. (Journal of Sport History)
[An] exciting study....[Sullivan] has a sure grasp of city politics and a lucid understanding of power struggles. (The Book Reader)
Sullivan has performed a marvelous job of research....The Dodgers Move West is an excellent book about a black day in baseball. For those not old enough to remember 1957 this volume will tell you the entire story. Others like myself who recall those machinations all too well will find the work very interesting and informative. (Tom Knight, The Brooklyn Spectator)
An extraordinary study of sports and cities (detailed, iconoclastic, put into superb historical and political context)
