Reviews
Heroes of American History series. This simple, bare-bones text conveys the most salient events of Robinson's early life and athletic career. The characterization of this influential man lacks nuance and his political activism is given short shrift (possibly due to the book's brevity), but the clean design and numerous photographs will attract and inform sports fans and report writers alike.
