64 pp. | Millbrook | February, 2017 | Library ISBN 978-1-5124-2753-0 $33.32 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-5124-2845-2
(4) 4-6 Doeden's slim volume on the history of the Negro Leagues is reasonably comprehensive. Establishing solid facts amid a "knowledge gap"--from lack of newspaper coverage, inadequately kept statistics, and unreliable oral anecdotes--is a challenge. Doeden's writing is cautious where readers might long for more enthusiasm, but this is still a worthwhile addition to baseball collections. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
