Captured History: Sports series.
A competent overview of the Williams sisters' tennis achievements is hampered by an on-and-off relationship with the series' focus on sports photography and the career of photojournalist Mike Blake. While few of the included photos are actually Blake's, the many pictures add interest, and the book provides a good history of tennis and its only gradual acceptance of black players. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
