Drama and Pride in the
Gateway City by John Harry Stahl and Bill Nowlin in Redbird Rants

“Without the Philadelphia Phillies‘ epic collapse and the Cardinals
epic comeback to win nearly a dozen games, there would have likely been a
3-team playoff between the Cardinals, Phillies, and Cincinnati Reds. Had that
happened, we might or might not be celebrating the 1964 World Series 50th
anniversary in 2014. More importantly, this book would not be sitting on your
bookshelf–which it should anyway.”

-Daniel Solzman

So Far, So Good by
Ralph Salisbury in the Minneapolis Star
Tribune

“Like a grandfatherly storyteller, Salisbury takes readers
on tangents that are, initially, jarring. It doesn’t take long, though, to fall
into the pleasant role of rapt listener.”

-Elizabeth Wilkinson

 

 

Conspiracy of Silence
by Chris Lamb in C70 at the Bat

“Chris Lamb does an excellent job of laying out all the
players, showing them for their faults and credits, and pointing out how their
work laid–or fought–the groundwork for Robinson’s debut.”

-CARDINAL70

 

Upton Sinclair by Lauren
Coodley in Publishers Weekly

Things by Xhenet Aliu in Publishers Weekly

Spies by Beverly Deepe Keever in the Lincoln

The X-15 Rocket Plane
by Michelle Evans in The Space Review

“The
X-15 Rocket Plane is an engaging account of America’s push into
space before pilots became astronauts, and America began a new era of
exploration beyond the Earth to the Moon.”

-Anthony Young
