　　THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

THE BEST SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR

"October 1964 should be a hit with old-time baseball fans, who'll

relish the opportunity to relive that year's to-die-for World

Series, when the dynastic but aging New York Yankees squared off

against the upstart St. Louis Cardinals. It should be a hit with

younger students of the game, who'll eat up the vivid portrayals of

legends like Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris of the Yankees and Bob

Gibson and Lou Brock of the Cardinals. Most of all, however, David

Halberstam's new book should be a hit with anyone interested in

understanding the important interplay between sports and

society."

--The Boston Globe

"Compelling...1964 is a chronicle of the end of a great dynasty

and of a game, like the country, on the cusp of enormous

change."

--Newsweek

"Halberstam's latest gives us the feeling of actually being

there--in another time, in the locker rooms and in the minds of

baseball legends. His time and effort researching the book result

in a fluency with his topic and a fluidity of writing that make the

reading almost effortless....Absorbing."

--San Francisco Chronicle

"Wonderful...Memorable...Halberstam describes the final game of

the 1964 series accurately and so dramatically, I almost thought I

had forgotten the ending."

--The Washington Post Book World

"Superb reporting...Incisive analysis...You know from the start

that Halberstam is going to focus on a large human canvas...One of

the many joys of this book is the humanity with which Halberstam

explores the characters as well as the talents of the players,

coaches and managers. These are not demigods of summer but flawed,

believable human beings who on occasion can rise to peaks of

heroism."

--Chicago Sun-Times

　　Heroes have a habit of growing larger over time, as do the

arenas in which they excelled. The 1964 World Series between the

Yankees and Cardinals was coated in myth from the get-go. The

Yankees represented the establishment: white, powerful, and

seemingly invincible. The victorious Cards, on the other hand, were

baseball's rebellious future: angry and defiant, black, and

challenging. Their seven-game barnburner, played out against a

backdrop of an America emerging from the Kennedy assassination,

escalating the war in Vietnam, and struggling with civil rights,

marked a turning point--neither the nation, nor baseball, would

ever be quite so innocent again. Halberstam, one of the great

reporters of the '60s, looks back in this marvelous and spirited

elegy to the era, the game, and players such as Mantle, Maris,

Ford, Gibson, Brock, and Flood with a clear eye in search of the

truth that time has blurred into legend. His confident prose,

diligent reporting, and deft analysis make it clear how much more

interesting--and forceful--the truth can be.
