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.
