"Dazzling.A celebration of a vanished heroic age and a simpler Ame rica' " -New York Times Book Review David Halberstam's classic chronicle of baseball's most magnificent season, as seen through the battle royal between Joe DiMaggio's Yankees and Ted Wi lliams's Red Sox for the hearts of a nation. The year was 1949, and a war-wearied nation turned from the battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a summer that marked the b eginning of a sports rivalry unequaled in the annals of athletic competitio n. The awesome New York Yankees and the indomitable Boston Red Sox were fig hting for supremacy of baseball's American League and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash, headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their re spective teams in a classic pennant duel of almost mythic proportions-one t hat would be decided in an explosive head-to-head confrontation on the last day of the season. With incredible skill, passion and insight, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam returns us to that miraculous summer-and to a glorious time when the dreams of a now almost forgotten America rested on the crack of a bat.
