(4) 4-6 Tangled History series. This installment covers Jackie Robinson's role in the 1945 dissolution of Major League Baseball's color line.

Illustrated with archival photos throughout, the volume is good as a report resource or for casual reading. An epilogue offers a bigger-picture overview. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
