“This is one of the best books I have read in many years. It is informative and delightful for this Central Illinois baseball fan. I have new respect for Hurricanes baseball.”

Review in The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books:

“I enjoyed learning more about Fraser and his work in building up the Miami baseball team from afterthought to powerhouse. College baseball fans will be especially interested in this book as it is a good source of information of one of the most successful programs in the sport.”

The Messiah Confrontation

Review in The Christian Century:

“Knohl seeks to push forward a deeply significant conversation. ‘It is a great distortion of history to place the blame for Jesus’s crucifixion on the Jewish people as a whole,’ Knohl explains. ‘Jesus’s judges belonged to a small antimessianic group, the Sadducees, which one generation after Jesus disappeared from history.’ Knohl draws all of these loose threads together into an argument to dispel the notion that the Jews, in general, instigated Jesus’ death.”

Perfect Eloquence

Review in The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books:

“. . . this book is not only such a joy to read but is also one that must be given credit for accomplishing a difficult task – namely to share insights into the man that were not already shared either during his last year of broadcasting in 2016 or after his death in 2022.”

The Sonoran Dynasty in Mexico

Review in A Contra Corriente:

“Some paths are well-trodden, while others only appear so. Historian Jürgen Buchenau’s The Sonoran Dynasty in Mexico analyzes a topic once thought overworked and demonstrates instead that it was overlooked. With the characteristic clear and straightforward style that readers expect from Buchenau, he examines the ruling cadre of northern Mexican politicians and officers who dominated Mexico from 1920 until 1936.”

Game On

Review in The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books:

“A book on the history of sports media? Sounds like something that would be the subject of a scholarly work. If it was it sure didn’t read like one but still was as informative as one.”
