Includes the unwrapped exclusive audio CD with interviews with: Vin Scully, Jerry Coleman, Bert Shepard, Max West, Johnny Pasky, Ernie Harwell, Bob Feller, Morris Martin, Lou Brissie, and Ted Williams. After the attack on Pearll harbor, ballplayers from every major league team became part of the flood of young men and women who joined the military to fight Hitler and Japan, to preserve the American way of life, and, ultimately, to protect baseball. United under the stars and stripes, erstwhile ballpark rivals fought America's enemies every bit as enthusiastically as they once battled each other on the diamond. And when the fighting was over and America was safeguarded, these soldiers were reborn as baseball players and returned home to once again amaze us with their exploits on the field. When Baseball Went to War is the dramatic and unforgettable story of how a generation of sports stars selflessly gave up the playing field for the battlefield and, in the process, became heroes of a different kind. You will read about the amazing wartime experiences of players such as Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Dom DiMaggio, Jerry Coleman, Lou Brissie, Moe Berg, and many others. In the process, you will gain a better understanding of why these young men joined the war effort and learn about the hardships they endured during and after the conflict. In other chapters you will explore a different side of the war, thanks to fascinating stories about Negro League veterans, [apanese-Arnerican ternment-camp ballplayers, and women playing professional baseball during wartime. Finally, you will learn about the continuing importance of baseball to today's soldiers fighting in the Middle East. Drawing on the resources of The National World War II Museum and richly illustrated with many never-before-published photographs, When Baseball Went to War is a fitting tribute to the players of the Greatest Generation-heroes who saved America's Game thanks to their efforts on the battlefield and on the ballfield. Large book that may incur addition pPriority shioppoiing charges to some locations.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xi, [1], 244 pages. Audio CD in pocket on fep. Black and White illustrations. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 9.5 inches. Foreword by Curt Schilling. This book could not have happened without the enthusiasm and support of the National World War II Museum. Includes essays, sections, and ballplayer profiles by Gordon "Nick" Mueller, Gary Bedingfield, Frank Ceresi, William Mead, as well as the editor. A perspectives section included articles by Bill Swank, Kerry Yo Nakagawa, Merrie FIdler, and Terry Allvord. It also includes a list of Major Leaguers who served in WWII and a list of Major and Minor Leaguers killed during WWII. Among the interesting essays is on on the Chemical Warfare Service. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, plunging the United States into World War II. The next day, Bob Feller, star pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, enlisted in the U.S. Navy--becoming the first major-league ballplayer to join the military during the war--and volunteered immediately for combat service. The dramatic confluence of patriotism and the national pastime changed not only the lives of many enlistees, but of America itself. When Baseball Went to War is the stirring account of how Feller and other major leaguers answered their nation's call, leaving their homes and loved ones for duty, honor, and country. The lucky ones sacrificed only a few years of their playing careers; others sacrificed their lives. Men like Yogi Berra, Dom DiMaggio, Monte Irvin, Jerry Coleman, Moe Berg, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Warren Spahn, called heroes at the ballpark by their adoring fans, discovered true heroism in the lives of their fellow servicemen and women who never made it home.
