Reader Reviews
If you are interested in the general history and sociological setting of the Kansas City Monarchs, this piece of research is for you. If you are looking for a book of hopping stories and personal Monarch players, you should look eleswhere. This book is an obvious academic study (perhaps written as part of a master's or doctorate program) and has the feel of a textbook. Not a lot of thrilling baseball information for the fan, but if you are interested in understanding the business side of the the Negro Leagues and what the social effects of baseball on the community were, this is an invaluable resource. Well researched and detailed, this book will be used as a great secondary source for those who are interested in the Negro Leagues and in particularly the Monarchs.
