Jackie Robinson: An Intimate Portrait by Rachel Robinson

Excellent pictorial and narrative summary of the man who crossed the color boundary in Major League Baseball. Detailed and filled with many excellent vignettes and pictures about this splendid athlete who Banch Rickey choose to change the face of baseball forever. Rachel's ultimate gift of love to Jackie.
