Banzai Babe Ruth is the
story of the doomed attempt to reconcile the United States
and Japan though the tour of Major League all stars in 1934
and the efforts of fanatical ultranationalists to drive the
nations apart. The story contains international
diplomacy, espionage, attempted murder and, of course,
baseball.
"Banzai Babe
Ruth reads like a multi-stranded mystery novel. Fitts has an
eye for the quirky details that make historical writing
vivid."
Michael R. Stevens, Books & Culture
"Wonderfully
researched and brought to life in lively prose."
Publisher's Weekly
"A
fascinating story of international intrigue. ... This is a
well-researched, fascinatingly told tale of two super powers
whose shared passion for baseball wasn't enough to maintain
the peace, though it did help to restore it in the years
following World War II."
James Bailey , Baseball America
