Item description from seller

xi, [1], 244 pages. Audio CD in pocket on fep. Black and White illustrations. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 9.5 inches. Foreword by Curt Schilling. This book could not have happened without the enthusiasm and support of the National World War II Museum. Includes essays, sections, and ballplayer profiles by Gordon "Nick" Mueller, Gary Bedingfield, Frank Ceresi, William Mead, as well as the editor. A perspectives section included articles by Bill Swank, Kerry Yo Nakagawa, Merrie FIdler, and Terry Allvord. It also includes a list of Major Leaguers who served in WWII and a list of Major and Minor Leaguers killed during WWII. Among the interesting essays is on on the Chemical Warfare Service. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, plunging the United States into World War II. The next day, Bob Feller, star pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, enlisted in the U.S. Navy--becoming the first major-league ballplayer to join the military during the war--and volunteered immediately for combat service. The dramatic confluence of patriotism and the national pastime changed not only the lives of many enlistees, but of America itself. When Baseball Went to War is the stirring account of how Feller and other major leaguers answered their nation's call, leaving their homes and loved ones for duty, honor, and country. The lucky ones sacrificed only a few years of their playing careers; others sacrificed their lives. Men like Yogi Berra, Dom DiMaggio, Monte Irvin, Jerry Coleman, Moe Berg, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Warren Spahn, called heroes at the ballpark by their adoring fans, discovered true heroism in the lives of their fellow servicemen and women who never made it home.
