Specificatii
In November 1934 as the United States and Japan drifted toward war,
a team of American League all-stars that included Babe Ruth, Lou
Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, future secret agent Moe Berg, and Connie Mack
barnstormed across the Land of the Rising Sun. Hundreds of
thousands of fans, many waving Japanese and American flags,
welcomed the team with shouts of Banzai Banzai, Babe Ruth The
all-stars stayed for a month, playing 18 games, spawning
professional baseball in Japan, and spreading goodwill. Politicians
on both sides of the Pacific hoped that the amity generated by the
tour--and the two nations' shared love of the game--could help heal
their growing political differences. But the Babe and baseball
could not overcome Japan's growing nationalism, as a bloody coup
d'etat by young army officers and an assassination attempt by the
ultranationalist War Gods Society jeopardized the tour's success. A
tale of international intrigue, espionage, attempted murder, and,
of course, baseball, Banzai Babe Ruth is the first detailed account
of the doomed attempt to reconcile the United States and Japan
through the 1934 All American baseball tour. Robert K. Fitts
provides a wonderful story about baseball, nationalism, and
American and Japanese cultural history.
