Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Building on his previous work, Baseball and the American Dream, Elias (Law and Politics, U of San Francisco) discusses the use of baseball to further the aims of US foreign policy from the Revolutionary War to the present. Citing examples from various US military and diplomatic engagements, the volume explores baseball's role in the promotion of American ideals around the world. Extensively notated and containing several black and white photographs and illustrations, this work will appeal to readers interested in US foreign policy, US cultural history and baseball fans.
