內容簡介
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
THE BEST SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR
"October 1964 should be a hit with old-time baseball fans, who'llrelish the opportunity to relive that year's to-die-for WorldSeries, when the dynastic but aging New York Yankees squared offagainst the upstart St. Louis Cardinals. It should be a hit withyounger students of the game, who'll eat up the vivid portrayals oflegends like Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris of the Yankees and BobGibson and Lou Brock of the Cardinals. Most of all, however, DavidHalberstam's new book should be a hit with anyone interested inunderstanding the important interplay between sports andsociety."
--The Boston Globe
"Compelling...1964 is a chronicle of the end of a great dynastyand of a game, like the country, on the cusp of enormouschange."
--Newsweek
"Halberstam's latest gives us the feeling of actually beingthere--in another time, in the locker rooms and in the minds ofbaseball legends. His time and effort researching the book resultin a fluency with his topic and a fluidity of writing that make thereading almost effortless....Absorbing."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"Wonderful...Memorable...Halberstam describes the final game ofthe 1964 series accurately and so dramatically, I almost thought Ihad forgotten the ending."
--The Washington Post Book World
"Superb reporting...Incisive analysis...You know from the startthat Halberstam is going to focus on a large human canvas...One ofthe many joys of this book is the humanity with which Halberstamexplores the characters as well as the talents of the players,coaches and managers. These are not demigods of summer but flawed,believable human beings who on occasion can rise to peaks ofheroism."
--Chicago Sun-Times
