Baseball

Review in Journal of Sport History:

“It is rare to find a book that condenses hundreds of scholarly monographs and journal articles, adds a few new or underutilized primary sources, and tells a familiar story with a level of specificity that makes it feel just a little new. Steven Gietschier’s Baseball: The Turbulent Midcentury Years is that kind of book.”

Schoolboy

Review in In Case You Didn’t Read:

“[Schoolboy is] an engaging read and I recommend the book to anyone interested in baseball during Hoyt’s pro career (1916-1938).”

Bad Subjects

Review in H-France:

“The book charts several paths for future research. . . . [Davis] deploys a nuanced analysis of the limits of royal authority and its dependence on a host of reliable and unreliable agents. She also resuscitates obscure individuals whose lives were upended by exile and internment, war and revolution. She identifies key moments in the construction of racial categories and racist laws that emerged prior to and persisted into the revolutionary decades.”

From Near and Far

Review in Journal of Modern History:

“Throughout the book, Stovall’s exposition is similarly straightforward—a master class in how to show not tell. He buries its theoretical and methodological sophistication in finely curated stories about people and places.”

The Chief Rabbi’s Funeral

Review in The Reporter:

The Chief Rabbi’s Funeral is easy to read even for those with no knowledge of the era in which it takes place. He manages to tell the personal stories of those involved, while still offering a larger historical and sociological look at this little-known part of American history. The author also hopes that his work will serve as a reminder of the continuing need to fight racism and antisemitism.”

Oklahoma’s Atticus

Review in Oklahoma Bar Journal:

“Perhaps you’ve read the book, but if, like me, you missed it, I hope you’ll be inspired to pick it up. It is the Oklahoma version of To Kill a Mockingbird.”
