This work is the story of the All American All-Stars on their 18-game tour of Japan in November of 1934. It is an intelligent, well-crafted account of an important period in the history of U.S.-Japan relations. Painstakingly researched, rich in color and detail, it goes beyond baseball, illuminating the social, economic, and political life of a distant era, the impact of which can still be seen today. The book contains photographs, illustrations, a map, a list of recurring Japanese characters, appendices, notes, a bibliography, and an index. This HARDCOVER copy is clean and solid. Price is not clipped.
