Review
"Famous Jewish athletes return to print: dashing, hitting, jumping, swimming, and twirling their way into history and our hearts. Author Goldman modernizes this second revision of his popular, original 2004 paperback with new athletes in five of his nine categories, reduced from ten; professional wrestling is gone. The additional names are very up-to-date, many with 2012 or 2013 achievements; some are lead stories, others follow, still others are in each chapter’s ending section of 'more Jewish stars'. To publisher Kar-Ben’s credit, they are open about the fact that star athletes are not always star role models. New entry, Ryan Braun, got into trouble just as the book was going to press. Kar-Ben included his baseball biography, but stopped his text facts in 2011, removed him from the cover image and back blurb, and added an end note explaining his suspension for the remainder of the 2013 Major League season for performance- enhancing drug use.
Each focused biography now contains its statistics; the author removed the chapter containing myriad charts for space. New stories and photographs appear without having this latest revised edition a page longer than the other two. Back story meshes with athletic achievement in a wide range of sports and eras. Strong, clear vocabulary and honest reports put across the message to sports buffs as well as general readers interested in great moments. Punchy vignettes will appeal to middle and high school readers. Highly recommended for all Jewish Libraries." -- AJL Reviews
