About This Item
--The Boston Globe
'Compelling...1964 is a chronicle of the end of a great dynasty and of a game, like the country, on the cusp of enormous change.'
--Newsweek
'Halberstam's latest gives us the feeling of actually being there--in another time, in the locker rooms and in the minds of baseball legends. His time and effort researching the book result in a fluency with his topic and a fluidity of writing that make the reading almost effortless....Absorbing.'
--San Francisco Chronicle
'Wonderful...Memorable...Halberstam describes the final game of the 1964 series accurately and so dramatically, I almost thought I had forgotten the ending.'
--The Washington Post Book World
'Superb reporting...Incisive analysis...You know from the start that Halberstam is going to focus on a large human canvas...One of the many joys of this book is the humanity with which Halberstam explores the characters as well as the talents of the players, coaches and managers. These are not demigods of summer but flawed, believable human beings who on occasion can rise to peaks of heroism.'
--Chicago Sun-Times'
